disturbing fault- fixed!!

Post by viperoc »

Hi All; not a regular but have shared my thoughts on this lovely car in the past. One of its total plus points is the smooth, powerful drive. Just as I am approaching the end of a 3 year lease I noticed a hesitation in accelerating, especially from low revs, when given a bit of welly. This had developed into a real pain, making the Roc almost choke to death at times.

Long story short: VW took 12 days to finally cure it. They were very courteous, apologetic and determined to resolve it, in my view anyway. I was told it needed a replacement injector after discussions with VW HQ. Since the fix, its reminded me how damn smooth it zooms up to high revs without any resistance- wonderful; glad we can end on a high.
