I have a 2003 VW Jetta TDI with about 170K miles on it. Recently after an oil change, it was difficult starting in the mornings. Normally it's parked in the garage but at this time it was outside on the drive. Temps dropped to the high 20's and we had snow. After finally getting it started, it ran fine. Then I didn't drive for a couple of days and it wouldn't start at all. Engine would turn over, glow plug light & other dash lights came on but it wouldn't start. I changed the fuel filter but that made no difference.
I don't know if it's worth noting that my driveway is sloped. When I backed in (back end higher than front) the car started easier. When I parked so the front end was higher, starting was much more difficult and ultimately nonexistent.
I bought this car new and have been extremely happy with it until now. Typically get 40-42 mpg.
I would welcome any thoughts or suggestions on what might be the problem. Thanks.
