Car Cutting Out ( fuel ???)
« on: November 08, 2010, 09:22:34 pm »
My car from last week , started cutting out , seems mainly when engine is cold .  once hot seems to be OK .
 Just had the VW dealer today do my 40'000 DSG oil change .  when collecting the car , they told me the car cut out a couple of times on them .  they said they believe it to be the fuel sensor and quoted £110 to replace.  I purchased an extended warrenty with them when I purchased the car .

My 2 questions are
1 ) Are they likely to be right with their prognoses or did I have some bad petrol in the tank
2 )  Will my extended warrenty cover this.

I had a similar problem clicky and it turned out to be the fuel (pressure) sensor. But mine was done under warranty.

Have a look at the small print of your warranty to see what is and what is not covered.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
