Well, it's probably a big mistake on my part but Volkswagen HQ asked that I allow them a bit more time to fix my car.  So, against my better judgement I've decided to allow them until 2nd July to get it sorted out or else it's back to a car swap.  They seem to have ruled out a mechanical problem so now they're looking at the electronics, specifically the ECU. Problem is that the ECU has to come from Germany and it's non-returnable, so they can't order it  until they've had the ok from VW's Technical Department in Milton Keynes - and i've seen snails move f*****g faster than they do!!!!!!!!!!

To say i'm fed up doesn't even begin to cover it!

Well people the latest news:

The dealer is waiting for a fuel pressure tester to arrive from VW's Technical Dept in Milton Keynes.  Presumably they're suspecting the fuel pressure sensor of being faulty or at least are trying to discount it.  With a bit of luck the pressure test will be fine, they'll replace the faulty sensor, I'll get my car back and everyone will live happily ever after!  Well I can hope can't I? :smiley:

Guess what people - after nearly 2 months VW have finally fixed my car  and I'm going to collect it this afternoon. :grin: :smiley: :grin: :smiley: :grin: :smiley:

They've replaced lots of different parts without success, but in the end it turned out to be a faulty MAF sensor! More news later..

ooh it'll be good to have my baby back!
