Re: First signs of rust on the rear arch.

Yeah I'll take some tomorrow for you. I also have rusting with the rear sub frame and shocks. They all need replacing soon.

Re: First signs of rust on the rear arch.

My arches are all bubbled and severely rusted. Same year 2.0 tsi gt black. Took to VW cause still under paint warranty. Basically fed me a load of crap that it's been painted in past even though I proved them wrong and refuse to fix it.

Do these engines have issues with valves sticking? I'm having second thoughts with it being injectors as have no code for them nor any smell of petrol. This seems to happen when engine is running hot. I've just drove 50miles on cold day and had no issues?

Re: Misfire Issue on hot days

So I got a set of coils and plugs and the cars been fine for days. Even felt more smooth in low end however today I went to drive the car. Started fine then 10 meters down the road the EPC light came on and car dropped into limp mode. Pulled over and restarted in and problem gone now. Any ideas?
