I am getting very frustrated with this damn car.
So I bought a CPO 2012 Passat TDI from a dealer last October, it ran fine until the cold winter months hit, when it was really cold, the car would seem to misfire after a cold start for the first mile or so, accompanied by a loud knocking sound. I brought it to the dealer and asked they let it sit overnight and see if it would do it for them in the morning. I picked it up the next day after they told me it never exhibited said issues, except it did exactly what I told them it did when I drove it off their lot.
Drove the car through the winter with the issue persisting.
It just started doing the same thing this month even when it's warm out, takes a couple seconds longer to start than normal, misfires sometimes, and makes an awful racket under the hood for the first few miles of driving.
No check engine light has ever come on with these symptoms.
I had an oil test done on the oil after 8500 miles, blackstone laboratories said it had high amounts of aluminum in the oil, I'm worried that a bearing or something is letting go, I just hope it does before the car is out of warranty.
I want to love this car but man does this piss me off.
