Hi There,

Keen to get some advice.

I have a 2013 VW Gold 90TSI Comfortline, I bought it brand new 6 years ago. Apart from burning through oil (which I top up regularly between services) the car has given me no issues. I have done 113,000km mostly FWY to work, it has been very fuel efficient and drives very smooth.

A couple of weeks ago my engine light and EPC started coming on intermittently. Sometimes both come on sometimes only one, some days nothing. It is very strange as the car drives perfectly no loss of power, no noise when idling it is normal. The start stop function which 99% of the time I turn off, also started coming up with an error. Again no issue with the cars drivability. I have taken it to a couple of mechanics and none of them seem to know what the issue is. They kept saying it could be several different things and we'd need to replace them etc one by one to find the issue. I have been told horror stories about taking it back to VW workshops so I am really worried and just don't know what to do.

I am also a woman and constantly feel like workshops try to put one over me thinking I would have no idea because I am female. Some workshops charge $150 just to run the diagnostics program, and they don't even know how to fix the errors. At the first place the error code I received was "P00AF Turbocharger/Supercharger Boost Control 'A' module performance"

Open to advice, help or any ideas on what this could be.

Regretting my VW purchase!

Many thanks,
V
