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,

    Do let us know the outcome of your dealer inspection.
    Mine had this problem, bout a month ago I took it in and they replaced it no questions!

      MkVI 118 TSi : 6.2l / 100km, 118 kW

      They've leaned out the injection cycles a LOT without much detuning when converting the engine from use in a "sports" model to a common model to give it more appeal to the normal person. The reduction in fuel use results in increased combustion temperatures and pistons will burn before anything else (anyone else remember all the blow ups when refuelling was banned during the F1 1.5 litre turbo era in the 1984).
      An aftermarket tune probably resolves this problem better than the VW revision.

      But why weren't they caught by the service campaign?

        Cause the damage was probably already done... they just took much longer to rear their ugly heads

          Yeah, they replaced the clutch pack, all good now

              What is the build date on your car? Anything built after April 2010 should have been done at factory.

              Otherwise look for a recall sticker on the divers A pillar.

                    Well 14 months and 27,000 k's since the engine was replaced and software was updated it has gone and **** itself again! This time without warning from
                    The vibration on idle I got last time, just went while I was driving. Same problem though. Loss of compression in cylinder 3. I only ever feed the car 98 and funnily enough while the first engine lasting 18,000k's was mainly short driving, barely warming up. This engine has mainly been long haul highway driving.

                    Many others had two engines replaced?
