6 months ago, on a foggy morning (60 deg F), My Jetta TDI would not deliver any signicant power such that the car would only go 10 MPH. I had to have the car towed to the dealership. They replaced the injector pump under warrantee.
Then, just this week, on a foggy morning with similar temperature (just coincidence?), the exact same thing happened. This time I was 75 miles from home, so I had the car towed to the nearesr dealer. There, it sat for 2 days before they even looked at it (arrrrg). When they did try to drive it, they saw nothing of the intense power loss that I experienced. They said that "nothing is wrong now".
One thing I noticed though, is that in both cases the car would take alot of cranks to finally start in the days preceeding the main power loss.
When I pick up the car, I plan to question them with regards to:
- Condition of EGR Valve, MAF sensor,
- Status of chip settings
- Cleanliness of the cooer and intake manifold
Anybody have any similar experiences?
