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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Have a look in the service book and see where it had most of it's services carried out.

      Well, at least you have now ruled out one option in terms of diagnosis. Also you know it won't die on you on the freeway when the injectors fail.

      As it's only got 60,000km in 6 years, I just think it needs a good clean out.

        thanks benough, wont need the letter anymore, finally got some answers, was done by wodonga VW, spoke to them all 4 injectors were replaced including wiring loom and "appropriate bolts" since 2012 its done 6,000ks, so 3,000 a year not much at all, ive already done a good 1000 on it in the past 2 weeks so this now leaves me wondering what on earth is wrong with it.

          Yeah, it's been babied for sure.

          I had mine for about 2 weeks and one night it conked out, flashed like a christmas tree. The dealership did a forced regen on the DPF and then told me, in no polite terms, to flog it.

          Try and only put BP in it as well. They are the only people in Aus who don't blend their fuels, 100% their own stuff.

          Maybe on the weekend you freeway it to a mountain pass, gun it up and down, then freeway it home.

            will do my best and see how it goes over the coming week, i only put BP in as its the closest servo to me, and im too lazy to go elsewhere, at least im doing something right.

              We have one of these, about the same age. Given the injector campaign has been completed, I concur with the advice above that you need to take it for along, spirited drive. We try to do a 200-300k drive at least once a month. Ours runs as smooth as silk...for a diesel!

                  just had it scanned, no errors logged at all, and seems to be driving great the past 24 hours, with minimal to no miss.

                      I had '08 GT Tdi with the same issue. It ended up being caused by metal shavings in the gearbox (DSG) - how i don't know, I am not a mechanic, but yeah...
