• Hello,
  
  i just bought a Beetle 1,9 TDI -99,  90Hp and when i start her cold, it starts at once but when warm i can crank her for up to 5-6 seconds.
  
  I can feel the engine missing a little in 2000-2700 Rpm in fifth gear like a gas car go lean on the fuel or if there are some ignition problem.
  
  Can anyone help me with my problems?
  
  Stefan

• Check the posts from "hamman" in this thread, the early ALH engines had that issue, not bad to "fix" the problem.
