So it turned out to be the water pump. According to the service manager, they've had plenty of TSI engines come through with the same problem and he wasn't surprised about my issue. The repair was covered under the powertrain warranty. I'm happy to have my Tig back.
I had the same problem with my 99.5 VR. I now use 5-50, problem solved.
Fuel filter is interchangeable between many VW and Audi.
A battery from VW was actually cheaper and had a better warranty than what Advance was trying to sell me. So I just bought the battery from the dealer, installed myself, then returned the old one for the core refund.
Just drove my mk5 through a winter storm. (quite literally) It performed very well! It has identical handling characteristics to the mk6 Golf. As others have said, it strongly depends on the tires.
Since replacing my battery on 12/18 this code has not returned. The only symptom I've noticed is it appears my battery is going. When I start it in the morning it struggles and then is ok the rest of the day. However just leaving the radio on, without the car being on, for 20 mins or so will drain the battery and the car will barely turn over.
My 09 2.0T CC has the exactly same problem as yours. I can feel it almost every time when the car stopped at traffic lights... About three months ago, I let the VW dealer checked my car since it was still under warranty, but they did not find any mechanical problem, then they replaced three engine mounts... I felt a litter better but not too much. and now I feel the extent of the problem are back to about the same as the first time I felt it. I will let the dealer check again soon. One thing I believed is the engine mounts are not the parts that cause the problem.
My wife's 2000 Cabrio started having this same set of symptoms. Replaced coil, plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor not that long ago. Coil was indeed cracked, but the symptoms persist.
No it will NOT work with the current pump....the R32 pump will burn out as the fuel pump controller pulses the pump which burns out the brushes.
went in for my 20k maintenance/service on my 2011 GTI, Waterpump was shot, replaced free of charge but leaves me worried...
