Just a quick question with a little background. I have noticed over the past couple months that the performance on my 2002 Jetta TDI has been dropping off a bit, especially going up hills and grades. Just not as peppy. Anyway, about 2 weeks ago I got a check engine light with a P0182 code (fuel temperature sensor input signal low). I cleared it and it came back. Cleared it and it came back again so it is a legitimate code.
Funny thing is, now that I have the code, the car seems to have most of its pep back. Coincidence, or does the computer revert to a stored value when the temperature sensor is bad? If so, would this explain the better performance?
Thanks,
Glenn
