Check Engine Light On Problems of Volkswagen GTI

This only happens when the clutch is fully in and throttle is not engaged (coasting down hills, stop signs) the engine shuts off but all of the electronics stay on. I lose power steering/throttle and rpms are 0. None of the engine lights come on like the car stalled. When the car turns back on, it seems to struggle/stutter. Several of the times I have attempted to restart it, it took a try or two to crank and me adding some throttle. I ran my code reader several times when this happened and no actual codes have been tripped and no check engine light on if I continually add some throttle and rev the engine while at a stop with the clutch in the issue does not happen it hasn't happened while the engine or the outdoor temperature was cold. Only after the car has been parked outside in the fall not quite warm in the midwest us and again only after I had been driving for 10 minutes or so and the engine was totally warmed up.

I began experiencing the engine stall from the day I purchased the vehicle. The engine keeps stalling as I come to a stop. It happens with the clutch pedal fully depressed. It happens without any warning. There is no check engine light or other warnings. When I attempt to restart the engine, I sometimes have to press the engine start button multiple times until I get a response. When the engine does restart, the idle sometimes fluctuates and shuts off. It happens whether I'm driving on a local street or a highway.

The engine suddenly stalled with the clutch pedal fully depressed as I came to a stop from a slow speed. Then, as I tried to restart the engine with the clutch pedal fully depressed, the engine started with a very unsteady idle and stalled again. I repeated this process four times, and then the fifth time, applied the gas pedal during the unsteady idle, and the car was able to run again. This entire process did not cause a check engine light, and I have not been able to reproduce the issue.

Vehicle intermittently will stall out when coming to a complete stop, and must be manually restarted for each failure and the car successfully restarts every time with no issues. Each stall happened while vehicle was coming to a stop between 0 and 10 miles per hour with no warning, with the clutch fully depressed and the vehicle in neutral. The vehicle does not have an auto start/stop feature. The failure seems to be either electrical or mechanical in nature, and only occurs when the vehicle is completely up to operating temperature. This stalling issue has occurred a total of 15 times in the week that I have owned it, starting with the first day of purchase, but does not happen every time I drive the car. There is currently no check engine light, and no codes stored for this failure. The engine does sometimes run very rough right before it stalls, but this has only happened 3 times out of the total 15 failures that have occurred. The only secondary issue that may be related to this failure is an incorrect gear indication being shown on the dash, which I have only noticed a couple of times. Currently waiting for service at the dealership to look at the vehicle, however, they have informed me that they are not aware of any permanent solutions to this issue and they are aware that this is a common issue with this year make and model of vehicle.

During moderate acceleration, engine cuts power, epc light and check engine light comes on. Vehicle goes into limp mode, and engine will not turn more than 3000 rpm, and has no power to accelerate. Engine develops misfires and idles very roughly. Engine may stall. Turning key off and back on does not remedy the problem. Disconnecting the battery will turn the epc and check engine lights off, but under next moderate acceleration, epc and check engine lights come back on, and problems come back. Check engine dtc codes range from misfires to system too lean and air intake leaks, and for accelerator/throttle position sensor b malfunctions. These problems have happened multiple times in traffic on the interstate and in the city. The vehicle has stalled at stop signs and traffic lights. It has also stalled during acceleration. This problem started happening on August 6th 2019 and has continued to happen.

Vehicle stalls intermittently when coming to a stop. No check engine light.

While coming to a stop with the clutch depressed the engine cuts out. The engine has also cut out a few seconds after coming to a full stop with the clutch fully depressed. This has occurred multiple times, always while braking or immediately after braking while stationary. I am able to restart the car manually after this behavior. The car is new with 250 miles driven. The car does not register a check engine light or otherwise indicate any problem.

Camshift sensor check engine light on and off every 2 days.

While driving the steering wheel, gas pedal and engine will studder and cause epc light to come on with check engine light. Turning off the car and turning back on will sometimes correct problem but will come back shortly after. Car will not accelerate without stalling out. Almost like the computers forgot how to accelerate the car and use the engine. Car was getting onto highway when this happened but does happen during regular driving. Car jumps and studders and the engine wants to shut down since it cant accelerate or shift higher, rpms go down to point of car stalling.

The vehicle stalled suddenly while driving in a parking lot. The check engine light did not appear, nor did any fault codes. The discovered cause was an oil screen in the camshaft adjuster bridge that came apart inside the timing chain housing, causing the engine to come out of timing. This caused significant damage to the cylinder head, leading to a replacement at a cost of $7400. This is an issue that Volkswagen is aware of an has issued a redesigned replacement part for. Unfortunately, they have not informed the owners of the affected vehicles of the problem and the potential danger associated with it if the part fails. If I had been driving on the freeway at 65-70 mph in traffic, it would have been a dangerous situation.

Faulty abs control module for 2009 models of the Volkswagen Gti. As a result of the faulty abs control module, it causes all kinds of other errors in my car, shown in the dashboard. Some are abs disabled, traction control/esp disabled, check engine light illuminated , emergency brake lights illuminated, hydraulic steering gone, speedometer drops to 0 (can't tell what how fast I'm driving anymore), etc. With all these problems happening as a result of a faulty abs control module, how is this issue not addressed yet? why hasn't there been a recall for this put out yet? this will definitely result in an accident either for me, or one of the many others who own 2009 vw Gti models in the future, and I hope that it will not have to come to this before vw does a recall on this.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen Gti. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph the vehicle stalled. Immediately after the failure the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was later towed to a dealer where they advised that the cam follower and the high pressure fuel pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were approximately 120,200. Kmj.

While approaching a stop light the vehicle shut off with no advance notice of any problems. The battery light came on as the vehicle was shutting off. The vehicle would not immediately restart. After six tries, in morning rush hour traffic, the vehicle finally restarted. Several vehicles had to swerve around me to keep from running in the rear of the vehicle. At least one othe incident has happened since then with the engine light coming on.

The contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen Gti. The contact noticed a reduction in power along with a shuddering of the vehicle and the check engine light illuminated intermittently. The dealer replaced the crank case breather hose and a fuel pressure sensor; however, the problem intensified and the vehicle was almost inoperable. The contact had the vehicle towed to the dealership and the vacuum hose was replaced. The dealer also performed the ignition coil recall repair on the vehicle. When he picked up the vehicle, the check engine light illuminated when he turned the vehicle on; however, the dealer suggested that he had a valve lash and fuel pump module repair. While driving long a distance, the vehicle check engine began to blink on and off. The failure was diagnosed by a second dealer who stated that there was a major failure with the camshaft system which needed to be replaced along with the high pressure fuel pump, and a cam follower. The vehicle was repaired and the check engine light was illuminated at the time of the complaint. He called the manufacturer and was told that they could not assist him. The current mileage was approximately 85,000. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.

We purchased the vehicle just about three months ago with 146 miles on it. Now has just over 2400 miles. My husband was driving in 3rd gear and went to shift into 4th, a pop sound was heard. He delayed for a moment and then went into 4th gear. Once he did the engine started clinging. He had the car towed to the dealer. They say it is not covered due to extended redline. Yet my husband was only at 5000 rpms when it happened. The check engine light nor any other indicator ever came on after it happened. Since the car had 146 miles on it when we bought it, I think the damage to the vehicle was done prior to our purchase. However I have no way to prove it. They will not cover the damage on the vehicle under the warranty. I have contacted Volkswagen of America, they said I needed to have the engine torn down, and if they find it to be a driver's error, then we will have to pay for the tear down and the repairs.

Check engine light came on intermittently. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, and was told that the fuel injection system needed to be serviced at consumer's cost. Also, consumer experienced the same problem with another vehicle of the same make and model. The check engine light remained on.
