so and i thought maybe the new VWs were ok, but now i'm not so sure...
i am at my parents house (los angeles) for labor day 400 miles from where i live / work (bay area).
going to meet friends in downtown LA from college. getting up to speed to merge onto freeway which in LA means you are near 60-65mph at the top of the onramp.
car reports EPC and engine failure lights just as i get onto the freeway. have to pull over in "the ghetto". gasoline smell, car vibrating at low rpm / idle, really sluggish engine. takes a lot of work to start.
take surface streets back to parents house.
Will be VPNing to work remotely next week probably. I read online one of my fuel injectors probably failed. On a car with 9300 miles on it. on VWs brand new award winning 2.0 TFSI direct injection engine.
At least its a good excuse to hang out in LA for a week with a loaner car. Go VW group products!
