I recently picked up a 05 B5 TDI with 150K miles and it has what I call a misfire. When I got the car I had the trans P0741 (I think...for the TC) but I changed the filter and fluid. It had an oil leak, but I fixed that.
Since picking it up, I've had an occasional misfire. I'll be going along, mostly in an uphill or acceleration mode, and the engine will feel like 1 cylinder will not fire once or twice. Then it straightens out and all is good. It happened once in nearly 200 miles we put on it yesterday.
I pulled the VCDS and no codes. Even my trans code is gone.
What can cause this and why doesn't it throw any codes? I'm new to the BEW but can I easily diagnose if an injector is going bad? I just don't know why it doesn't give me a code.
