4 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 08/06/2021

The car idles rough during initial cold start up, intermittently hesitates during acceleration and feels like it misfires during cruising. My dealer found that the ignition timing was retarded by 5º and told me to use better gas, citing a vw field service action (https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2020/mc-10176770-0001. Pdf). The problem persisted after they treated the fuel. The car has never thrown a code causing the check engine light to turn on, and so the dealer has declined to investigate further. My records show the car was only filled with premium fuel, using vw recommended brands (bp, exxon, mobil, shell) in the 2,000 miles prior to the service appointment and was only filled with regular fuel twice (due to the colonial pipeline shutdown) since the car was delivered new from the dealer.
