Engine Fault Workshop!

[simonn]

Hi All,

Today was driving to work and I heard a beep, then "Engine Fault Workshop!" showed on the MFD as well the engine warning lamp on the dashboard.

I have a VW Jetta 2010 (TDI), would be intersted to hear what your thoughts are.
Car is 6 months old and has done 7,000km.

Called dealership and due to go in for a quick look in the next few days.

Thanks,
Simon.

Were there any other warnings or abnormality prior to the message?
Do you drive short trips only (or mainly)?
Does the message stays or goes away?

engine was and still seems to be running fine, regular idle, not jumping, etc
i mainly do a trip of 30mins with a variation in speeds from 60-80km, last week did a 600km highway run, so the dpf should be clean.
message displays, then goes away and returns randomly, even reapprered after turn off and sit for several hours.

It needs to be properly diagnosed. Make sure you get the paper work from the dealer; record of how long they had the car for and what was the problem and the fix.
Good luck!

Just got home from the dealer, they have kept my car and put me in a free loan car.
Problem is 'exhaust pressure sensor' i believe is what they said, should be fixed today.
I will get the papers, so if the fault re-appears I can get it fixed again.
