My vw Jetta had sat for a few days in a indoor parking space in the midwest during winter December to be exact. When I started the car, it started weak, then gave an error on the display of "engine fault workshop. ". The cat continued to drive, but lacked power and seemed to surge. After I returned home, I disconnected the lower intercooler hose to find a large ice formation and water restricting the outlet of the intercooler. This problem can cause major engine damage and is caused. By the exhaust gases and water vapor freezing in the intercooler. Every vw with this style intercooler setup has potential for this problem. It should be recalled do to its severity. Also, there is a TSB already written for the "fix". But vw has not informed anyone, nor will take care of the problem for anyone beyond the 36000 mile warranty. Even though this is a design flaw.

The exhaust flap is sticking in the open position, thus causing warning light on dash to come on.

This complaint is for a 2009 v. W. Tdi (diesel engine). When I press the accelerator pedal when the engine is not yet warmed up, and shortly after the vehicle is started a hesitation occurs. This is very dangerous when it happens in traffic. This was reported to platinum Volkswagen on 1/6/09 during a vehicle courtesy check. The car dealer could not find the problem; however, the problem continues. This hesitation happens several times per week.
