B8 Hard Starting When Hot
I've had this issue pretty much since I got the car. It always fires right up when it's cold, but it usually has to crank a bit before it starts when it's hot. Sometimes it'll seem like it's catching, so I let off, but then it doesn't start. It never starts and dies, it just doesn't start until it's cranked for a bit.
Reading about some E34 540i's there's something about heat soak or something due to where the starter is positioned. Would it be something similar on this car? Other suggestions? |

Thanks for the tip Dwayne.
Do you have a link or any information you can post up about the technicalities of what is going on to cause this? |

it just has to do with u losing fuel pressure and the one way valve doesnt allow for this .

Thanks again Dwayne.
One last question just to confirm...The one that you posted is that an example, or does that one fit the fuel line on our cars? I am assuming that it fits, but I just want to confirm before I order |
