Hi all hope you are well.
I have a mk7 with a CXXB 1.6 tdi engine. I’ve searched the forum and can’t find anyone with a similar issue. Car is unmodified, gets services regularly and has had a service a few months ago including fuel filter earlier this year. UK based so its not cold at the moment.
Its currently running rough on start up. When it warms up its seems fine. The rev counter bounces around for a little while, the car seems like its miss-firing and spluttering if trying to drive it before its warmed up. There is no engine management light on the dash or any other messages.
I’ve given it to a garage I trust and he said the only thing he can suggest is to start with the injectors, apparently the injectors are/were common on the 1.6 engines.
He’s usually good at diagnosing faults, so not sure if he’s just given up, It’s not showing any error codes for the injectors, it was scanned and a code is appearing, P308D00 (fuel pump, rpm), he said he’s had that before and the code wont cause the fault.
He has had it overnight so he know the symptoms its got.
I’d just like a definitive answer really, I really don’t want to replace the injectors if that’s not going to solve the issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
