[urq] 83 on ebay

[Schaible, David]

Ask him if it cranks, sounds more like heat soak on the starter

 Injector seals are the most likely.  However, the hot start issue is
emphasized by the injector cooling fan not working (properly).   Another
less likely possibility is the fuel accumulator, if its no longer
"storing" the fuel pressure after you shut the car off you will have to
wait for the evaporated fuel to make its way back up to pressure and to
the injectors (more likely if vaporlock is suspected)
 
Good luck on the auction, and even better luck if you are going to use
it as a daily driver.  I tried that once...
 
Personally, I could never drive one daily anymore Im too spoiled by the
modern convieniences.  Plus, if someone wrecks my A4 on me I'd nary shed
a tear.  If someone wrecked my UrQ me, I'd likely be up on murder
charges.

hi marty, well first i would think of fueling like say injector seals or
check valve but maybe the coolant temp sensor could be faulty or even
EVAP,
though im admittedly not the best diagnoser, however i could help you
with
your urQ wants,, i was going to list mine soon but if someone is eager
id
take $5k yesterday, theres a long story to this car but basically,, its
not
my time for a Qcoupe and honestly i would really be cautious of daily
use,
not for the car in a mechanical sense but beacause so many other people
are
terrible drivers.

PS they like 30 miles a lot more than 3 so if you do go ur-daily find
the
long way to work and love every extra minute.
