    Golf TSI engine replacement

    Volkswagen Volkswagen Advice Volkswagen Golf Volkswagen Golf Advice Volkswagen Golf 2009
    ...
    I have been informed that my 2009 VW Golf TSI 2.0 is to be fitted with a new engine, even though it has only done 18,000 km. Before accepting it back from the dealer, what should I be asking?

    VW has issued an alert to dealers and owners about a problem with the engine electronics of the TSI engine, advising owners not to drive their cars if they are experiencing any misfiring. Owners who are should report their problems to their dealers who can reset the engine's knock sensors to fix the problem. If it's not addressed VW says it could cause damage to the engine, as it seems could be the case with yours. So ask the dealer to show you what has been done to ensure the problem won't occur again. Other Golf owners with this engine should contact their dealers and ask about having the change done on their cars.
