Wet air intake filter. Clearly showed water damage and rot on the air filter. This is a repeated issue.
After recently purchasing this vehicle I noticed the car be long more and more sluggish. While driving one morning I experienced loss in power and an flashing check engine light and glow plug light on the dash. The car went into “limp” mode and I could not accelerate past 40 mpg on a busy road. I pulled over slowly and let the car sit. After turning the car on off and back on, the cel went away . I attempted to pull out into traffic and with my foot to the floor, the car has no acceleration leaving me going extremely slow into traffic. The cars acceleration has been terrible and really not safe to drive. I have several cel codes including p0402. After having the car inspected we found that the intake filter had completely deteriorated at the bottom. Almost as if water had been sitting in the bottom of the air filter box. After removing the old filter and replacing it with a new one, we also cleaned the mass airflow sensor, unplugged it and plugged it back in. This did help the vehicle drive much better. Unfortunately, this only lasted for a very short time. Within several miles later I’m driving a vehicle acceleration issues persisted again. Some fluid was found to be inside of the oil as well. The car vehicle is now scheduled to go back to have a full examination in service. Based on some recent finds it also seems that there have been many others who have experienced the same issue. Reference the lawsuit in china. . Read more...
Keep getting water in my air filter box, soaking the air filter. Took it to the dealer, they said they removed some part in the drain. Doesnt seem like a fix to me.
Vw 3. 0 liter deisel engine with recall issue due to fraud by vw. Vw applied the fix to the engine as approved by the court. This fix has created a situation where the car has significant hesitation on take off and in traffic making it impossible to safely enter the stream of traffic or cross traffic at intersections. This is a repetitive situation occurring both at highway speed and at intercity speeds. Vw acknowledges the situation but refuses to fix the problem. Problem began immediately after recall completion to make vehicle compliant with federal law. Car was returned within the week to vw and has been returned additional times to resolve issue. Vw service reports no way to solve the issue.
