Hi All,
I am a new member to this forum and am looking for assistance/advice/suggestions with respect to my wife’s 2012 118TSI GOLF which has low compression on 2 cylinders (causing rough idle and occasional loss of power). Have you had experience getting VW Australia to cover the rebuild cost?...

Hello,

engine:1.4 tsi 110 kw

thanks

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to fix a rough idle when cold on my brothers 1.4 twin charger gt.
I scanned it with a launch scanner and nothing came up. When you take the oil cap off the idle is the same making me think it’s an engine breather system fault. It doesn’t seem to have a normal...

Hi guys,

Currently researching my problem through these forums and such.

Long story short, about 20mins ago I started my Van, put it into reverse (DSG), while reversing it suddenly stalled. Then I tried starting it and the motor/starter? was whining badly. After a few goes,...

Looking for some help as I have a 1996 T4 - 2 litre has an issue with the engine 'hunting' at idle, flat spots at low revs and stalling on idle. Leads, rotor button, distributor cap and many hoses have been replaced but the problem remains. I’ve been told the map sensor is failing and (probably)...

Hello everyone,

2002 v6 passat. Car would start idle at 500rpms for a second and die. This happened for about 10 min of intermittent trying. After that 10 min the car would then idle but unless I rolled on the gas very lightly the car would die. If I roll on the gas lightly and let it rev...

Hey guys I have another little problem to fix on my golf 2.0 se. The car drives well and idles well when it’s in park however when it’s in drive on idle or reversing it not smooth almost like a misfire but no error codes and this doesn’t happen all the time. Any help appreciated. I will change...

Hi everyone,

Looking for some advice regarding a lumpy idle on a 2008 spec GTI.

I bought the car with 106,000 kays on it, and the idle was dead smooth. Within a month or so it started to get a little lumpy every now and then.

It's become progressively worse ever...

After my daughters Golf left her stranded for a while Ive swapped my trusty SAAB for her dubious Golf

Ive got most things sorted out from door locks to faulty light switches, broken wires etc. But I am stumped on this one.

When starting from cold.

fires almost...

Hey Team,

I picked up a 1.4 tsi with 35,000km from a used car dealership about a month ago, over the last week I've been noticing that the initial idle after a cold start is pretty rough and shaking the car, then when it settles into the lower rpm idle there's the tapping/clicking shown...

Hi guys,

Been moving around a bit and a little behind on servicing (past time but not kms) have had a little issue with rough idle, hoping its not a piston issue. Just wondering from those who have had engine issues what the tell tale signs were? Mine seems to be fine if I just give it...

My 2007 T5 4 motion is an ex ambulance with the slightly raised Bilstein suspension. It has only just clicked over 150k (i've owned it since 24k). It has recently developed an uneven idle. There does not appear to be any loss of power or increase in fuel use. The uneven running seems to disappear above...

Hey,
I had a vac leak that I'm pretty sure was causing hunting idle, I'm pretty sure I got it, no more hunting. But If I put the clutch in while moving it'll "idle" at ~600rpm and then when I come to a stop duck back up to the usual ~820rpm.

Is this normal for a 1.8t??...

Hey Guys!

I have a 2011 1.2lt Mk6 golf and it recently stopped working.

Whilst i was driving normally the EPC light came on, so did the check engine light, the steering wheel light? (maybe power steering) as well as the traction control light. I completely lost acceleration...

So i have a 1996 1.8 mk3 golf CL and just recently my idle has either been high at 1200-1600 rpm or really low at 500 rpm and about to stall. This only occurs when it's warm and the engine has had a little bit of load applied. I've checked and replaced old vacuum lines and that word for about 30 minutes...
