2006 Jetta TDI, 5 Speed, 308,XXX miles, Morris County, New Jersey
This is not my daily driver, but I would like it to be.
Long story made short:
We drove to our daughter's home ( a 1 hour highway drive), we planned to help 2 teenagers to drive a manual trans. While teaching them to drive a car w/ a manual trans the car overheated. After letting it cool down, we tried adding more coolant, but it just poured right out. I had AAA tow the car home.
The next day I determined the leak was caused because one of the heater core hoses ruptured. I also noticed that the engine mount that connects to the block, & the alternator and A/C Compressor that are attached to it had broken. I also observed that the mount that attaches to the front of the engine was also broken. I replaced both mounts.
I replaced the heater core hoses, filled it with coolant, all coolant stayed within the cooling system. Engine started easily. I drove it around off and on for a couple days. It was as good as it was before it over heated.
Life and work got busy and I didn't touch the car for a month. When I next drove it, it kept going into limp mode. I did some reading in the TDI Forum and someone said that a fuel filter that was starting getting dirty could cause limp mode. I replaced the fuel filter, the occurrences of limp mode were less frequent, but still there.
Here is the related section of VCDS findings. Please let me know if there is anything else you need.
