2010 1.6tdi same cylinder injector problem

Featured Replies

I have a 2010 1.6 tdi which keeps blowing the injectors on cylinder number 1. I have put 3 injectors into it and it had blown the 3 of them. The car runs perfect for 2-3 weeks before the injector stops working. But with the last injector it was a reconditioned and the car would tick over uneven. Any one any ideas?

Did you have the cheat software Fix?

No i didnt. I only bought the car last September. What is the  cheat software fix?

Multiple injector failed are regularly being reported by those who had the voluntary software update to remove the cheating software that VAG intoduced on EA189 engines to meet Euro 5 testing. Basically the engine knew when it was being tested (rear wheels not turning) so adjusted emissions accordingly.

Somewhere near the spare wheel area there will be a sticker with 23R6 and the date it was applied.

If so, join the closed Facebook group   "The Volkswagen Diesel Customer Forum - Emissions Scandal".

They will show you how to get your injector replaced for free and how to claim back for the cost of the two past replacements, under the VAG Trust Building Measures. You are not alone.

Best check if it had The Fix, so you have 24 months VW guarantee of sorts from when carried out.
