My 2015 Jetta SEL is jerking and bucking randomly while driving. It starts roughly 10 miles into the drive. Its stalled a few times at low speeds. Lift pump replaced about 8k ago. Had a glow plug light one time but I turned it off and back on and it went back to normal. Has been doing this for...

Any update on this I’m actually having a similar issue. 10 miles down the road jerks badly, then fine then a series of jerks a few miles later. Sometimes stalls at low speeds. Lift pump replaced 8,000 miles ago.

Still under deisel gate but they claim lift pump isn’t covered

Dealers claiming it’s the lift pump only and the two I supplied won’t work.. only an oem?? They say the pressure drops after install

2015 JEtta TDI just hit 100k

car wouldn’t start at store. Had an ECM code I thought was from low battery. Took to local garage said it was fuel pump. Replaced .. still didn’t start they claimed it was hpfp. That’s under extended warranty so I took to VW. They claimed the pumps installed was no good. Bosch OE. Removed and...

I thought this was initially fuel related however I admittedly put in the cabin air filter backwards and went for a drive … parked at Walmart went in and came out with some groceries to a car that cranked but didn’t turn over. Finally went and bought a scan tool and got P068A code. Anyone know...

I pulled the timing belt cover back a little and saw that was still attached and looked tight.

Automatic unfortunately. No rpm’s do not move when cranking. I thought about crankshaft positioning sensor.. is there a way to test it without specialized tools?

No havent changed it yet .. planned on changing it in March .. just hit 100k. I pretty sure I had the cabin air filter in backwards if that might have shorted something out? Would the car still start with a jump if it was the alternator?

Some quick history. Had a burning smell coming out of the vents thought it was a bad heating element/aux heater. Replaced cabin air filter before I messed with the aux heater. Replaced filter drove 1 mile to Walmart bought some food and the car just cranks now and won’t turn over. Tried jumping...
