Hi, I’m looking for some advice and opinions please.
A bit of background info. I have a 67 plate 102 with 69K on the clock. I have been plagued with issues since picking the van up 6 months ago (VW van centre) and it is now out of warranty. I have so far had:
Crankshaft oil seal repair
Water pump replaced
Tailgate handle replaced
Sliding door locking module replaced
Internal fan blower replaced
Windscreen (broken on delivery)
When it was in with my local VW van centre having the diagnosis for the blower and door module they advised a fault code was stored (I had no engine light on) indicating that the EGR needed a flush so when it was in for the repairs a flush was carried out.
On picking the van back up I pulled away and experienced a judder from the engine. Never had anything like prior. When pulling away in first or reverse there is a strong judder which can be prevented if pressing the throttle hard when pulling away. There are no issues in any other gear or when driving normally. However, sometimes it doesn’t actually happen.
I’ve returned back to the garage who have looked at it and stated the flywheel is most likely to be the issue. Now if I had just developed the fault and not been in the garage I would tend to agree but it just doesn’t sit right bearing in mind there was no sign at all in the morning and be so bad on the night.
What are peoples thoughts? Could it be something to do with the flush? Is it just total coincidence as the garage are saying?
The lads in the garage have been spot on but I’m just not convinced by the coincidence theory. Maybe I’m wrong and just unlucky
