Every winter it is the same issue - intercooler icing. Last year it sat at dealer for 5 months waiting for retro fit intercooler kit and having to be rebuilt twice for bent rod and new head when it blew up on dealer test run after 1st rebuild, Vw canada provided extended warranty as good will gesture.
Car has run great until operating in sub zero conditions this winter. Warmed up to plus 5 degrees celcius last Saturday- started ran for 3 seconds then quit - deja vue to the previous 2 winters. Tried to restart engine started to turn then locked up solid- towed to dealer - sucked in large chunk of ice blocking the intake- did not enter engine. Dealer thinks there is something wrong with modified intercooler kit = wants to try another one.
Dealer is trying to solve issue indicated not seeing the issue in all of the same model year.
My Question is does anyone on this site have a solution?
This is the only place I know where I can get a straight answer.
Thanks in advance
