Took delivery of the new car in December. After 500 miles (and 1.5 tanks of fuel) the (yellow) check engine light came on. Reported to local VW dealer in January, and had to wait until Monday this week to get the car seen as they had no courtesy cars available. Picked the car up earlier today after having two new injectors installed, and drove the car home without any check engine light. Glorious.
The glory lasted no more than an hour
Did the school run at 3pm, started her up only to find the check engine light is on again. Immediately phoned the dealer, who said to bring the car back tomorrow. However ... they have no courtesy cars available until mid-late April. I'm pretty annoyed.
As I had to use the car throughout while waiting for a courtesy car (and VW confirmed the car was fine to drive in the meantime) I added 3000 miles to the car with the check engine light on. I can't say that performance had been noticeably affected, but clearly something isn't right.
Is this a common fault? Anybody else have similar issues? Reading around, others have said that regular visits to VW in the first year of ownership is quite common (and often related to fuel system issues) but I always take Reddit with a pinch of salt. I'm not 100% convinced, given this issue has returned immediately (well, within 20 miles) that this is injector related - although the check engine light did stay off the journey home today, so it doesn't make sense.
