problem #1

Jan 142014

Golf MID 2.0L TDI

  • Manual transmission
  • 14,292 miles

This No Start happened after work, after all coworkers left, and a tow was an hour wait.

The description of the issue "Condensation in the intercooler" didn't make much since based on how intercoolers work, but I am taking their word on it for now.

I am a mechanic and haven't taken the time to see exactly what they did to fix the problem, shame on me sure, but the issue hasn't happened since.
