Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problems of the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that the check engine and epc warning indicators illuminated upon driving the vehicle. The vehicle began to jerk, stall, and failed to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the cam shaft sensor and crank shaft sensor failed. The vehicle was towed to ourisman Volkswagen of bethesda (7001 arlington rd, bethesda, MD 20814, (301) 750-6100) where it was diagnosed that the cam bridge spring disintegrated and popped out into the engine. The manufacturer stated that they had no knowledge of the failure. The dealer quoted a repair cost of over $5,000. The failure mileage was 90,084.

The car was running fine up to the time it quit. It stalled in a puddle after 7 days of rain so I assumed it had gotten water in the system somehow. I had it towed to my local mechanic. He in turn called the dealer who said they were unable to sell him the parts for the repair and that I needed to have it towed to them. I have since been told the repair work will be between 8 and 10 thousand dollars to replace the diesel fuel system! I told them to hold off so that I can way my options. I have since verified that indeed the high pressure fuel pump had disintegrated and destroyed the fuel system.

Fuel system was flushed and replaced. After that the top of the engine was leaking oil. I took it back to vw in clarksville TN. They said they fixed it. It is still leaking oil just not as bad. Then the car was smoking and burning/leaking oil from the turbo. Vw did not want to fix this under warranty. Even though I had taken this car in several times before for a check engine light that kept bringing up the egr.

My 2009 Jetta sportwagen tdi has experienced a disturbing no-start condition several times. Cranking the engine did not result in a start. Only after repeated cranking (5-10 times) did the car actually start. First it would not start several times, then start and die immediately, and finally start, run very rough,and then smooth out its idle. This entire sequence (which has happened at least 4 times in the last month, to varying degrees) occurred in the December-January time frame, with the first incident occurring when temps were right around freezing, with precipitation (rain-snow mix) and high humidity. At least 2 times, the vehicle simply died suddenly while driving, when I took my foot off the throttle and revs dropped down to idle. In addition, the car has displayed a solid check engine and flashing glow plug light, which have come and gone several times (intermittently: one day they will be on, the next day not). The last symptom to report is a p0638 obdii code (throttle body out of range). This code, however, could be a false indication that is related to the number of failed engine start attempts? I took the car to the dealer, and they could not figure out what the problem is. I have a strong indication to suspect, after researching others' experiences on several online forums, that this may be related to the accumulation of water and/or ice in the intercooler, which then either blocks the airflow or becomes ingested into the intake. My symptoms are consistent with those reported in the Volkswagen technical service bulletin (TSB) # 21 11 06 / 2025464 - frozen air charge cooler. However, when I presented this TSB data, along with report of my symptoms to the dealer (after they inspected the car and could not find anything) they told me that they could not help me, since the vehicle is out of its warranty period.
