I own a 2009 Jetta TDI, last November I had my intake manifold replaced not even a week later engine light comes on for clogged egr cooler. My car has been serviced at this same volkswagen dealership since I purchased it 7 years ago. I took my car to vw about the egr cooler problem and after a few days they finally told me I needed a new egr cooler and a new fuel rail pressure sensor. I got this replaced after they ordered the wrong egr cooler and delayed my car getting fixed for a week. The very next day after finally having my egr cooler replaced and the fuel rail pressure sensor replaced my engine light came on yet again. So I took my car back to vw and they then told me there was an electrical problem with the fuel rail pressure sensor they installed; they said they could not fix it that day and that I needed to bring it in a week later. Well when I went back I learned that I actually had a broken engine harness and that was the reason the fuel rail pressure sensor went bad. I had to wait a while before the part came in and vw told me it would not be a problem to continue driving my car, so I did and my engine light came on yet again. I decided to take it to Autozone for a engine light read and they told me I needed a glow plug replaced, this same day I was driving when my air got warm and my car started overheating. I had no choice but to drive my car and when I took it to vw for the engine harness (which was a 5 hour labor job that turned into a 4 day job) I also requested a coolant system flush because I had **** floating in my coolant reservoir and when I went to pick up my car I also learned they had to replace the engine coolant temp sensor. They promised me the problem would be fixed but yet again they were wrong. My car has been sitting at vw since the 21 or 22 of June and they have still yet to find a problem. They told me they checked the head gaskets for leaks and that it all checked out ok. They have absolutely no idea what is wrong with my car and told me that my car is only overheating when you drive it that they had it running in the shop for 4 hours with the air blasting and it was not overheating. I really need help I am only 18 and can not rent a car so vw has me screwed.
