Re: Petrol going down so quick like there is a leak!!

Mine did this but was shaking and struggled pulling away. Had to replace injectors - didn't waste time getting them checked to see which one was wrong. Also the inlets were choked with carbon etc and had to get cleaned as the engine can't get rid of it.

Re: Water pump, Check engine light on, Error P10A900

There are 2 water pumps in the car! (2.0tsi) A primary and secondary one.
I never knew until mine went. I kept topping it up as it sealed when it got warm.

The engine will go into protection mode hence the decrease in speed revs

Where is the MAP sensor located?

Hi everyone Just hoping for someone to advise where the map sensor is as I’d like to see if its needing cleaned and to see if this is the cause of poor acceleration and stutter at certain constant speeds. All usual suspects have been looked at. My local garage thinks it’s an injector but it’s a pric...

Re: Unsolved Misfire Issue - 1.4tsi

I had a hesitation usually around a steady 30mph and at 70mph and lumpy cold start up. Lumpy start up is still there but the hesitation seems to have sorted itself out. I still think there's a lot of factors to this problem and no one seems to know for sure what it is. (or they aren`t coming back on...

Help- where is the erg valve and throttle body

Hi
As above could someone tell me where the ERG valve and the throttle body is?
Car is stuttering when driving at low revs and only when cold.
Been advised to clean the the above so just want to make sure where they are.

Re: Replacing Rocker Cover Seal / Timing Chain Tensioner + S

my seal went and got it replaced locally as vw was too expensive as its all labour charges but they used vw parts. £250 However not long later the crank shaft oil seal went which was £400. They usually go one after the other due to cars mileage. I was under the impression if the chain tensioner was ...

Re: central locking strange issue- drivers door

Brilliant hope he can tell us.
I’m thinking it’s the catch. Chances are it’ll be expensive. Really weird how you’ve just had the same issue.
Surely others must have?

What was the symptoms driving? Just curious as garages usually start with the cheapest thing to repair first as its a process of elimination.

Just a small update. My trusted local mechanic asked me when the fuel filter was changed. mmmm it hasn`t been as this also doesn`t get done during a service where it should be. So today that was changed and was full of crap. :eyepop: Only had it running for a little while and felt fine. At least it ...
