    Be best to have the ECU scanned for faults. But also consider the water temp sensor on the side of the head. They often cause bad consumption, as the ECU thinks the car is warming up constantly.

    Hi Ali, i was down your way (point cook) before moving north & inquired about an independent VAG specialist & got NO recommendations!!

    Maybe there is an opening there for someone!

    Ended up going to Richmond Autos (near work). Can recommend them highly. Would NOT go to Werribee VW...
