Hi All
I'm a new user and a female and I love my Golf!!!
I have a 2007 Golf 2.0 TDI manual (24,000kms) and have started having some problems and wondering if anyone has had similar problems and knows what it might be. BTW I''m taking it to the service centre on Monday however after hours of speculating with mechanics and friends I thought I'd try here as Monday is too far away
Recently it started to lose power and has flat spots in acceleration and it doesn't seem go over 3000 revs in the higher gears. It sometimes stalls when I depress the clutch after a drive under acceleration (i.e. not stop/start driving) and also seems to shake a bit when idling. One other thing it seems to do is not want to start when its warm, sometimes takes a few goes!
These problems *may* have started after I filled up last week at a Speedway service station - usually I stick to Caltex or BP however this was the only one around at the time. I have heard that diesel engines are a little more sensitive to dodgy fuel so thought this might be it but I can't certainly say that this is when it started - I've also tried adding more diesel to try and dilute the tank if this is a cause but could only top up about 15 litres...
Does anyone have any ideas what this might be?
