problem #1

Feb 152024

Passat R-line 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles

This problem came out of no where. I was 20 min away from home, on the highway. Out of no where the EPC light came on and the car lost nearly all power. I pulled off to the break down lane and shut the car off. I turned it back on after 5 min and the light was off. I let it set to idle, gave it gas a few times and jumped back on the highway. Next day I noticed the car was lacking power sporadically and only did it quickly.

I tried some fuel injector cleaner and that made it even worse.

Replaced fuel injectors and hasn't been an issue since.
