What's wrong with my Passat?
Have a 06 vw passat 2.0L diesel it cuts out randomly while driving after a few minutes but starts up fine straight after, diagnostics are not indicating any problems with the engine, changed fuel filter still no different fuel pump is fine also! Cleaned out the fuel lines not sure what else
Our answer:
Hi Cian,
A couple of known issues with that generation Passat that may (or may not) be your problem: the DPF pressure sensor can develop an intermittent fault and need replacing (and may not show up on the diagnostics) and the injectors can also develop an internal problem, requiring replacement.
Try to find a good mechanic that will test for these and other things so you can get to the bottom of it.
