 Hi.

 I asked your opinion on "why my 200tq doesn't start" some couple of months
 ago. There were some good answers and I even got it to start after all
 with the instructions you gave me. However, as it now seems the
 original problem is still not solved.

 Originally the car did not start at all. After some adjusting of the
 mixture screw in the fuel distributor it started after trying several
 times and pausing for a minute between the tries. After it finally
 started (and stayed that way) it run with no problem.

 I thought the mixture was still not correct and had it tuned in the
 local VAG service. The mixture was set a bit richer, but basically
 it was ok. However, after coming home and letting the car cool down
 it has not started since. Only thing that the guy touched was the
 mixture screw. (I was standing next to him)

 Could this be due to a sticking control pressure regulator?
 Or maybe the ISV ? I'm a bit puzzled. I even pulled the codes from
 the ignition system but got none so it should be ok.
