Hi, I hope someone can give my friend a clue what is going on with his 02 Jetta TDI 5 speed. He is driving from LA to Phoenix and called me from Blythe. As he is driving down the road the tach will suddenly go up and down, with no change on his part. He hears a kind of thump-thump-thump coming from the engine, and the tach continues to race up to 4 or 5,000, then way down. He then pulls over, turns the car off, restarts the car, and all is well... for about 10 minutes, when it all happens again. I sold him the car about a year ago; it only has 60,000 miles on it, and is generally in great shape. No problems at all in the past year.
Injection pump issue? ECU issue?? Clues? He's staying overnight in Blythe but hopes to be in Phoenix in the morning.....
Thanks for the help!
