I recently purchased a 2009 volkswagen jetta tdi diesel car with a 6 speed manual transmission and 20,000 miles. I have notice that the car is extremely easy to stall when attempting to accelerate in first and second gears. It seems the injection timing may be too far advanced. I have driven lots of similar older model diesel cars in europe and elsewhere without any such problems. I do not know what to do to correct…

We have had this car for less than two months. The day before we traveled about 45 minutes away and used the highway. The car was fine. The next day, when traveling on the highway at about 70mph our 2009 jetta sportwagen tdi suddenly lost power about 30 to 40 minutes into the trip. The gas pedal did not respond to being pressed. Our vehicle was slowing down. It was like the car died and we were coasting. Five to ten…

Engine dies while at speed, especially when making a sharp turn at intersection. Has occurred roughly 6 times in 7000 miles. Engine also routinely "hiccups" or momentarily dies at about 1800 rpm under light load. Nothing has been done to address the problem. *tr

My 2009 jetta sportswagon tdi has stalled several occasions rounding corners as i downshift from a higher gear to a lower gear. I generally run the vehicle around 1700-1800 rpm and as i make the turn around the corner to slow down i am in the process of downshifting and the car stalls out while the clutch is engaged. This has happened randomly 4 times to me. The first time i thought i might have accidentally shift…

Ever since my 2009 vw tdi diesel auto was new, i have a problem with hesistation in stop and go traffic that is an emergency. If i suddenly stop, such as the end of the exit ramp on the interstate, and simultaneously turn the wheels to the left or right, then immediately attempt to acceleration, disaster. The car will move into the oncoming traffic (for about 2-3 seconds), then hesitate, leaving me stuck on the path…

My 2009 jetta tdi sportwagon with 12,000 miles would not start one day. I attempted to jump start and pop start the car, both failed to start the engine. It got towed to nearest vw dealer. They stated that the starter failed, so they replaced it. After replacing the starter, the car was still not fixed and they discovered condensation in the intake system. They stated that vw was not sure what was causing the…

Fortune provided a rest area as the car got to about 45 mph on the interstate. After…

The vehicle has a 1 to 2 second lag when accelerating from a standing start or when i step hard on the accelerator pedal. It acts like it has to think about it for a while before the motor starts to rev up and the transmission engages. This has caused several near-accidents when pulling into traffic, and at stop signs when other drivers decided i'd waited too long and started into the intersection at the same time…

From the first week i owned this brand new jetta tdi sportswagon (with a manual transmission) it would periodically "faulter" or momentarily lose power at about 38 mph. I drive quite a bit and the problem would occur randomly, perhaps every other day. I've yet to be able to duplicate the problem by recreating the driving conditions, but it always happens at the same speed, right after upshifting. I notified the…

I own a 2009 volkswagen tdi. It now has just over 11000 miles. After only a couple thousand miles on the vehicle, i started noticing that the engine hesitates and in some cases produces severe bucking for maybe 2-3 seconds. During these incidents, the vehicle has less power and this can be a serious problem if one is trying to merge into traffic and suddenly has less power than anticipated to accelerate. The problem…

I bought my brand new 2009 jetta tdi on 5/28/2009 and 2 days later after i had only driven the car for 200 miles, the air conditioning stopped working when the car was sitting still. I opened the hood after i got to my destination to realize that the cooling fans were not working at all. They would not even come on to cool the engine. This occurred on a saturday, and the vw dealer where i bought it was closing in an…
