problem #1

Dec 012011

Jetta 1.8t

  • Manual transmission
  • 78,000 miles

had fuel pump, filter, relay and crank angle sensor repaired only to still have the car stall. Mechanic says the fuel is being pulled away from the reserve area of the tank but doesn't know why, maybe loose or broken baffles??

Update from Jan 5, 2012: Tank looked OK. Dealer replaced the purge valve. Excess pressure build up due to bad valve is suspected. So far so good but I'm reluctant to go below 1/4 tank as that is when it happened before.
