Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

  • idle problems/highish fuel usage

    hay all

    got a 06 jetta TDI.

    after a cold start, until the motor is up to temp, i have a bit of a bumpy idle. and the occasional stale while cold(3 times over the last 6 months)

    and iv been getting pretty bad fuel ecconemy, around 6.8L/100 that is with a mix of freeway driving, and gently throttle driving in general.

    im booking it in this week, but wouldn't mind thoughts from the more technically minded folks...

    the diesel fitter at work suggest a few weeks ago to swap to caltex premium diesel, so i did with little a vale 3 tanks have been through it now.

    thanks for any surgestions.
Working...
