Thanks for your replies- much appreciated!
As you say, it's a 6 speed DSG gearbox on this one.

Just to update you all, the mechanic reckons that his diagnostic equipment points to a faulty fuel pressure sensor. I have ordered a replacement today (from Central Audi and VW specialists for £58] and I will let you know how it is once the new part has been fitted.

Unfortunately it is usually the high pressure fuel pump, do you know if it has had a fuel filter recently?

Yes, the fuel filter was changed as part of the full service a few days ago. If changing the fuel pressure sensor doesn't do fix it, how will we know if it the high pressure fuel pump that's at fault? Thanks for your advice 😃

Hi, I just asked my wife about this because she took the car to the mechanic for the service. Apparently, he took the fuel filter out of the housing, then took the housing itself out and cleaned it. He then refitted the housing into the car, placed the new filter in and poured diesel into the housing before bolting the top of the filter housing down. When he started the vehicle up later, it started up first time. Hope that helps?
