Intermittent performance problem

[Jammin]

Try Tesco 99 - it has been repeatedly proven to be the best fuel in the UK, and is actually better than V-Power.

Sure, I'll give it a go in 80 miles time.

Good idea.  Did you ever get it scanned for any stored fault codes?

The last time it went to VW for servicing (about a month ago) they said that there were no stored fault codes.

Sounds similar to what I had been experiencing recently combined with a reduction in fuel economy.

VW checked it out yesterday and one of the inlet manifold motors had seized. That ties in with the link hurdy posted above I think.

Am I right in thinking that the inlet manifold motor is the same as the 'Tumble Flap motor', described in this post?: http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24952

How did VW assess that this was the fault? Did they report any fault codes?

No, this is something different

Has the girlfriend managed to fill it with diesel?

Yup, that's the one.

If/when that fails, it will definately store a fault code.

The wife was not happy with that comment  and no, I'm the only one that ever fills it up.

Lets hope I don't get "computer says no..." from them then.

How much was it to replace the motor?

Oh, the compoooter wont say no - but one of the monkies at the stealers might!

Yeah, too right.
