Hey everyone,
I have a 2013 Passat TDI with 75,000km
Problem started only on a cold start (summer temperatures).
It idles perfect, reves perfect, when I put it in drive and accelerate to more then 20kmh it will stutter and knock and hesitate. After about 1 minute it's all gone and drives perfect....
Lately the loud knock goes away mostly but it is still lightly there but permanently. It's been progressively getting worse for the last 10,000km.
It's to the point I'm worried about driving the car.
Brought it a VW mechanic and he had no idea (lol)
Brought it to vw and they said flywheel ( I don't think it's that because it shifts perfectly fine)
I've been researching all kinds for weeks and what ive read has been possible: injectors, camshaft, lifters, and maaaaaaaybe dsg.
Racking my brain also trying to research a TDI specialist in Toronto with no luck
Any insight from the membership?
