I have recently bought a 2006 Seat Altea 2.0 TDI PD with a BKD engine.
The car starts perfectly and ticks over smoothly for approximately 2 mins before becoming very lumpy and rough whilst idling. The rough idle only stops after 5 mins driving when the engine warms up at which point car idles smoothly again. It drives faultlessly the whole time as long as your moving.
I have done a bit of research and am stumped ! I have read numeous threads with similar problems which have been fixed by changing EGRs, MAFs, adjusting timing, changing faulty pumps and injectors but none with exact same symptons as mine as it runs perfectly on start up and once warmed up.
There is no smoke from exhaust, the car has only done 37000 miles and has been serviced regularly (not by SEAT). I have tried an ' italian tune up' ( fun but didnt fix it !). I have borrowed a VCDS which shows not fault codes at all.
Anybody experienced same problem and know how to fix it ?? Any help much appreciated
