| Description of the problem | Since the tdi fix i have experienced two incidents of power loss and then the activation of the check engine light. The 1st incident occurred in my driveway at a slow speed. The loss of power was for a short period of time. Vw called it a glitch not related to the tdi fix, and reset the check engine light. The 2nd incident occurred 33 days later on a surface street. I was in traffic at 40 mph and the car had a rapid drop in speed. I pushed the accelerator to the floor which resulted in a slow acceleration. Full power restored in about a mile of "limp it" to work driving. Later the same day the issue returned and the dpf light came on and made the car undriveable. I feel the tdi fix has made my car unsafe to drive. Since the fix i've had 3 check engine light warnings in 10 months. I'm thankful my recent power loss did not occur on the freeway. Its a tragedy waiting to happen. My car is currently in the shop awaiting repairs. |
