Hi all, For those who enjoy a detective mystery, I'm hoping to get some ideas about a recurring problem with a 2015 VRS so I can discuss with mechanics. For the last couple of months the car has been cutting out. It originally happened now and then when idling. I wondered if it was the start stop being...

I've heard mixed responses on whether upgrading coil packs and/or spark plugs are worthwhile. It's a (relatively) cheap upgrade, but does it provide any benefit? - even if it's just smoother idling in traffic...

Seems the main options for an Arteon are RS3 or APR coil packs and RS7 or NGK...

My '96 petrol T4 has just started to play up big time for me!
When the van is started it generally runs as it should, but occasionally when it starts you can feel that it isn't idling correctly and feels a little out of time so to speak. HOWEVER, when the van has been driven say, 5 minutes of...

My MY16 140 Highline TDI supposably have auto wipers and I can also find in the settings where I can turn it on or off. However, the wiper does seem to come on automatically when raining or even when I put my garden hose on it while the car is idling. And the wiper stalk does seem to have an Auto setting....

*Fuel consumption raises from 0.6-0.7 l/hr to 1.2-1.4 l/hr
*Idle surges, can occasionally stall
*Surging can be felt up to about 2000 RPM regardless of load
*Occasional reduction/loss of brake boost...

Hi All,

I have just registered with VW Watercooled but have been browsing the forums for a while. I am hoping to find a resolution to my idling issue with my 1999 Caravelle 2.5l Petrol.

I believe there has always been an issue with the idling since I bought it nearly 2 years...

Hi, my 1999 T4 synchro 2.5 Petrol (210 ks) sounds like a sports car atm. I think it may be a crack in the manifold, but not sure. There are no obvious holes or cracks elsewhere in the exhaust system, & the motor runs quite once warmed up & idling. But while driving it's obviously not too quiet....

Can those of you with Mk2 Octavias with a 1.8 or 2.0tsi (or even the older 2.0 TSFI) have alook at your instantaneous fuel consupmtion read out at idle please?

I want to know with the engine at normal operating temp (say 15+minutes of use) and the gearbox in nuetral or park:

Hi everyone,

I have a Nov 2007 MY08 R32.

In the last few days sitting at the traffic lights and now happening more and more often, it revs to a bit over a 1000 rpms for 30 seconds, like as if I've just turned it on. Then it goes back to normal idling speed.
