Considering the car has probably been sitting all winter and you're just getting it up and running I would consider contaminated fuel. Fill up the car with fresh fuel and check the fuel filter.
Nope, thats not it Kees
The car has been all the way to Astria this spring so the fuel is OK :haha:
Probably been driven close to 6000 km recently.
Fuel filter has not been changed for a while, but does not explain this problem.
I am pretty sure it has to do with the fuel supply, probably electrical/electronikal error. Any "mechanical or phisical" error would normaly be either working or not, this problem comes and go. See my description in post #1.
My guess is that in a couple of days it will start and work fine for a few weeks.
I have spoken to our mechanic in Munich, and he will start to adjust the valves, change the spark plugs and take it from there.

what ignition system does the B7 have? If so, are all the sensors OK, or are they in need of a clean or replacement?
Hi Andy
Regarding type of injection system I do not remember. Its the "new" B7 engine that was introduced in the B7/1 series that came out in 1984 based in the 3430 ccm engine.
If I manage to start the **** thing I will be on my way on A7 thrue Germany going south tuesday or Wednesday next week. So if this turns up in you rear view mirror,
MOVE :wroom: :1:
Green B7 Coupe with Norwegian plates will 100% be me.
Give me a wave..... and cross you fingers that the engine will run until I reach Munich.
