    im just wondwering what could cause such problems??

    always used premium fuel never thrashed car always been serviced!?

    anyhow there you go!
    I have to call BS on that. Way too many problems occuring simulateously.

    Who is your mechanic?

    02 sensors, MAFS and coilpacks are common problems, but you'd have to have incredibly bad luck for them to all go out at the same time!

    See if you can get it out to Seb somehow, even if it's on a flatbed.

    ouch! mechanics certainly do have you by the short and curlies sometimes dont they. They are the experts and we are forced to trust them. Hopefully they dont take advantage of us toooo often.

    Diagnositics and elimination

    If you can't diagnose a fault by using your experience and 5 senses, then it's a process of elimination. This is a scientific rationale whereby one variable is tested at a time. If your "mechanic" simply replaces everything that could be wrong, find a new mechanic. No, they don't have you by the short and curlies because there are lots and lots of good workshops out there if you're prepared to spend the time shopping around. We're lucky on this forum because we have some very experienced and knowledgeable members who have VW workshops and will always look after our users by doing the right thing. Go to one of them
