Hello,

I just got off of work it and when I tried to start my 09 GTI it was struggling to start. Like the engine was making a really bad clunking noise and then die.

Usually I step on the brake and turn the key and let go and it starts.

I had the timing chain and tensioners replaced around 80k and i have about 100100 miles.

Bad starter? Maybe?

When was the last time the engine had a decarb service? Are there any codes stored?
