Howdy folks. I'm a new TDI owner, bought a 2011 Highline back in february, black on black fully loaded. She is a gem especially after I blacked out the windows
Had it on a few road trips since, and overall has performed great.
Not that it hasnt had its share of "close calls" though. I've been having strang feelings about it lately. A couple times the glowplug light has displayed momentarily only to disappear after restarting. Another time the wheel started making a terrible grinding noise upon acceleration! This turned out to be a rock in the rotar (how improbable, right?).
Now lately I have been noticing a strange power decrease/increase. This happens when the accl. pedal is BARELY depressed while cruising. I'm a complete stranger to VW's and the TDI engine, I can only guess it would be something computer/wiring related.
There seems to be wiring issues that are popping up already for these new Jettas. And from the five posts I've read on the forum you would not want to get thee SLIGHTEST amount of impurity or water in the fuel system. I do own a 2005 Ford 6.0 diesel and know all about fluid maintanence and such, but this TDI engine is coming off as very finicky.
Anyways, enough rant. Any info, tips, advice would be great. Figure I better put some interest in learning about this car so it doesnt break. Because it's actually my wife's.
