Mk6 loss of power and white smoke
« on: 29 August 2019, 11:31 »

Hi lads,

I have a 2011 golf GTi 2litre TSI. Last night it lost power and lots of white smoke smelling of petrol came out if it. I pulled in and had it towed home. I checked the oil and everything seemed ok so I started it up again last night and it smoked like mad for a while but now is running ok. But I dipped it again and it looks like petrol might have got into the oil.

It looks like it might of been an injector that stuck open from what I read on the internet. I hooked my obd scanner into it and by accident I deleted the stored codes without reading them!!!

I have a mechanic coming to take a look later. Is it possible for deleted codes to be retrieved with VAG-com? I presume the mechanic won't be able to fix it if they don't know what injector it is, which he won't know as the error code was deleted?

Is it a case now of draining and replacing the oil, driving the car and waiting for it to happen again so a new error code gets stored?
