Hi,
I have a 2008 TDI 2.0 Golf with only 126k km on it (became a second car).
The car was stalling and skipping (losing power) whilst driving. Occasionally, the car failed to start, but without doing anything it would start a day later.
It has been back and forth to the mechanic for 8 months. Eventually, there was no error codes showing but the car was still stalling and skipping.
Went to a new mechanic, he recons that the issue is injectors and quoted me $2500 per injector, x4. Apparently, these injectors can't be tested or repaired.
Feels so wasteful to take it to the wreckers considering it only has 126k on the ODO and brand new breaks. Only offered $600.
What should I do to either repair it or to maximize what I get for it?
Thanks,
Leon
