Evening all, firstly apologies for my first post being an 'ask'... Today we experienced a temporary power loss in our 2007 vrs pd, a loss of boost and slight miss fire, no warning lights shown, after stopping then re starting the car the problem went away, it continued to run the rest of the day as normal, and we did around 100 miles since today with no further probs. It had new injectors under the recall campaign last week around 150 miles ago. We had filled with fuel just before the issue but had not run the tank anywhere near empty and as its now running perfect again,stopping and re starting cleared it and the station as had no other complaints im sure its not a fuel quality issue..... Anybody experienced anything similar??

Cheers, Chris

Welcome to Briskoda

Was it a temporary loss of power or did you have to restart the engine before the fault cleared?

There is a good chance it will have logged a fault on the cars CANBUS system.

Take it back to the dealer that replaced the injectors and ask them to hook it up to their diagnostic machine.

First time stopping seemed to clear the fault, did it again yesterday, stopping did not clear it but it did clear within 5 minutes or so.

Car booked in at the dealers monday, although there on the defensive already that it has noting to do with the very recent injector work, (i've to pay for a diagnostics check until its proven its anything to do with injectors), personally, reading the injector recall thread, i think its common with some of the problems others have experienced after the work.

Would i see a dash light if my power drop was actually a DPF regen?

Thanks, Chris

Find someone local who can scan the car with VCDS before it goes back to the dealers, and get a copy of the scan in case the dealer starts to wiggle out of something that they may have caused. As they said, it might not be anything at all to do with the injector recall, but then again it might.

It sounds like it has gone in to limp home mode to protect the engine from something - the stored fault code will tell you where the problem lies.

Mine did this when the turbo was on its way out, but anything out of spec can force the ECU to go in to limp home mode.
