Well I picked up the motor today from VW in Huddersfield today after they repaired the rust on the wings and the boot. It was raining on collection but first impressions are that they have done a superb job.
However the fault is still not diagnosed and it has become ridiculously bad to drive. At idle it stalls within 5 seconds everytime you dip the clutch or sit in neutral and I mean EVERYTIME
.
At high revs its still smooth but anything below 3000 rpm its constantly loosing all throttle response and power. I have got th tools to change the cam follower and the fuel filter but I doubt they will fix the issue. Did anyone else suffer from constant stalling when the HPFP failed or any other parts associated with the fueling system. I just can't think what could be causing it really.
I know it needs to go to the garage, which it will but only once I have checked the cam follower. Seems unlikely that it would run better at high revs than low if the cam was worn though?
