Mabada Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi all, My dad has a 52 plate W8 sport - v. nice, but it's had more than its fair share of problems. This winter it has been reluctant to start when very cold, When the temp really dips into frost nothing can happen when you turn the key. Sometimes it pauses before the starter engages. Sometimes it's fine! Anyone had anything like this? Dealer could find nothing wrong - any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorswaine Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Does your dad still have the W8. There's a specialist forum at The W8 forum - Powered by Web Wiz Forums™ which seems to cover W8 owners worldwide. The W8 engine seems to be really problematical, I've got one and it's about to cost me a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 I read somewhere else about the W8 engine and the oil mesh in the head issue. Bit of a boo-boo on VW's part. No wonder they dropped it/improved it by adding 4 more cylinders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
