Description of the problem | My 2007 vw passat wagon has 3 times on trips longer than 4 hours in 0 degree weather started chugging and shaking on the highway. Each time has been worse and lasted longer. The first time a call to a vw dealer said it was the gas cap and it would be ok. The second time a subaru mechanic diagnosed misfiring and a bad coil so i took it to a vw dealer who said there was nothing they could find wrong to fix. The third time i was nearly stranded on a remote highway. I eventually got home to my private mechanic who agreed it was misfiring and a bad coil and will fix it. |
