Hey guys,have having trouble with my Audi TT, it’s an 2000 engine code AWP. So I recently had my timing belt, fuel pump, turbo, crank and cam sensors replaced. And a few days later as I was driving car had a speed reduction twice then shut down on me as I was driving, car is no longer starting, has crank but won’t start up, mechanics can’t seem to figure out why, any ideas? Or should I just get a new mechanic?

Mechanic needs to go back to basics. Engine on the TT isn't easy to get around so checking is no small thing.

Basics, in case your mechanic has forgotten are - timing, compression, the right amount of fuel in the combustion chamber at the right time and a good spark also at the right time.

If you have all those the engine will start and run, the engine doesn't so at least one of those essentials is absent, discovering which one(s) is what checking is all about.

I suggest the immobiliser is checked first. If the mechanic has some decent test gear he should be able to see some live data, oscilloscope patterns, etc., even at cranking speed, which would take some of the backache out of the job.
If there is no live data, etc. or what you are getting doesn't make sense maybe the management ECU died or there is a wiring or supply fault. An ECU is often weakened by welding, jump starting, boost charging and other stuff done in the name of car stuff - such weaknesses rarely show up straight away but cause trouble later.

It is also worth keeping in mind it isn't unknown for a catalytic converter to become blocked.
Good luck!

SOURCE: Timing Belt Problem-6 cylinder Saturn wont' start

If your timing belt broke, then it is possible that the valves in your engine got bent, which won't allow the cylinders to pressurize the fuel/air mixture, and it will let all of the mix to flow freely into the intake/exhaust manifold. This can be checked with a pressure tester that is threaded into the spark plug opening. A mechanic should have one, or you can probably find one at an auto parts store.

SOURCE: 2004 Kia Optima no start after timing belt, crank, cam sensor replacement

did you use aftermarket crank sensor? if so that might be your problem. dealer has several different ones, by providing vin number, but there is only one after market for all optimas 01-05. try to connect thick pink wire and thick orange wire together on the ignition failure sensor. you might have the same problem as me. good luck.

SOURCE: 1997 Ssangyong Musso engine has erradic idle & intermittent start

i think the problem is in the fuel line. i have encounter it too.. the best way is to replace all fuel filter. muzzo have 3 fuel filter. 2 located at the engine and the other one located at the fuel tank they called it as strainer. u can see the opening of the tank underneath the back seat of the car. also good suggestion clean the tank. duel dirt is the main cause of your problem cause muzzo have only a small tip that why only little dirt can cause plunging in engine. sory for bad English

Hey guys my 2007 2L audi has no power fownd out that my crank sensor is leakink oil can it be that my turbo is not boosting

You get a "check engine" light? If so, have the codes read at your local parts store. At this point, it could be any of hundreds of different things, including the crank sensor.

2000 mercury cougar will not start

If it is getting spark I will assume the timing belt is working.
You say the fuel pump is good, so what is the fuel pressure at the rail ?
Are the spark plugs wet or dry ? Can you get it to try to start by using starting fluid ?
You may have to get someone to check the computer for trouble codes which requires a scanner or code reader.

Working on a 2000 Audi A8. Need info on changing

If it's anything like the six cylinder engines from Audi, which I'm very familiar with, and from what I remember of the V8, you have a timing belt that drives the water pump, crank, and exhaust cams, and also includes a tensioner and an idler roller. The timing chains come into play in the cylinder heads. What Audi did was to only drive the exhaust cams off of the crank, using the timing belt, and inside each cylinder head there is a timing chain assembly that is used to drive the intake cams off the exhaust cams. On a periodic service (like the timing service) you only need to do the timing belt. The timing chains are only replaced if the tensioners fail - you'll know this by a diesel-like clatter from the cylinder heads. Failure of the chain drive assemblies is very rare, which is good because they're incredibly expensive (on the V6 engines they're upwards of $700 each). If you're doing this job because it's due based on mileage, don't touch the timing chains in the cylinder heads - only change the timing belt, tensioner roller, relay arm, hydraulic tensioner, idler pulley, water pump, and serpentine belt. You can leave the chains alone.

I have a hyundai sonata 2000 it is 2.0 16valve wont start

Firstly, what's a TDC sensor?.. the crank position sensor? If so, on the four (4) cylinder, it's located behind the timing belt cover at the crankshaft.. if it's the 2.5 V6, it's located behind the LH exhaust manifold on the engine block.
