I havent forgotten about it. I just moved and restacked the MULTIPLE boxes full of goodies I have for it to make room in the garage. Kind of been thinking about going the vnt route on it. Been reading up on the 17 and bigger. Thinking about pulling the new Merc nozzles from my 1.9 dual stage injectors and going stock. All on the back burner though until this fiasco gets sorted out. I need reliable transportation.

Dropped the car off again this morning at Seacoast vw. They have been good. Problem is they fix one thing and then something else goes bad. Test drove the car with a good tech in it. The fault came on again on the MFD. Dash is still making noise. Tech said his wife had the same car and he knew what it was, foam tape was not the correct fix he said. We will see. Got some of the drop off and pick up paperwork dates corrected to reflect how long it was down for. I think I am up to 11 days right now, not including whats going on today.
Gotta figure out how to post all this on tdiclub without just posting the link. Looks like it may need to be a whole lot of cut and paste. I will be very interested in finding out if any other 2.0 CR owners have had problems like mine. Cant wait for the rush of comments when they see the "newbie" title next to my name. Dude, where is my street cred? :lol:

I called the dealer before they closed for an update. They think, the fault relates to the cam position sensor, not sure though. What the hell is up with the cam? Cam seal was bad, plug above the cam seal was bad, cam sensor might be bad, jeeesh :? Cars going to have another sleepover with it's new best friend, the vw dealer. I was told the other issues are still being worked on. I was told they had been able to polish the scratch off the bumper almost all the way. Right now, thats the best news I have, small as it is. :|

Maybe the sensors got messed up by the oil spray. Anyway, get all the bugs worked out while you're under warranty and it should be smooth sailing after 50k miles

Dude, I know you have troubles galore here. I hate to be such a persistent s*b. Maybe just give me the name of the tech who said he knew what the fix for the dash noise is? Please? I'll call him. My dealer is so dumb I'm scared to let them tear my dash apart. :roll:

Sorry man, I have not had the car home long enough to pull out the paperwork. Every time I get it home, it goes straight back into the shop. I do not know the tech's name, but it is being worked on at Seacoast VW in Greenland NH. You can call, or have your shop call and talk to Danna, he is the service writer who I am working with. You need the name of the tech who went on the test ride with me. If you mention Jims 2009 tdi that is having the problems he will know which one it is. If I hear from them today I will ask for the name. Pretty bad rattle in your dash? Where are you located?

The rattle sucks. Like a loud buz varies with engine pitch and some road vibration input. Only when cold out - worse when colder. Makes new car sound clunky. Im in Tobacco and Burbon land (and Hemp). :lol:

The tech's name is Kevin. You can see if the dealer wants to call up and get some insight. Car is still in the shop, day three on this issue.

Thanks I'll call next week. Appreciate it much. Wish I could help you. :roll:

Car is going to end up sitting at the dealers until at least monday. The "engine fault workshop code is throwing them for a loop I guess.

Update:

Got the call from the dealer, Car should be ready tomorrow around noon. They had to bring in their reginol tech to help troubleshoot. Car went in on Feb. 25th. Should be out hopefully by March 4th. Last two times I picked up the car it only made it one or less days before something else went wrong. I am aiming for al least a 700% improvement before anything else goes wrong :lol:

If you post this over on TDIClub you might get in trouble. Never seen so many problems. They are like: pro VW you know. Sieg H.

It's on there. Actually, when I first posted it there I stuck it in the wrong section. The first response was did I join tdiclub just to gripe about my new car :roll: . After that, Most of the responses have not been bad. It does seem like I am having more problems then just about anyone though.

Freidenker · « **Reply #73 on:** March 05, 2009, 08:06:08 am »

Good. If they like you they can be great guys and a lot of help. You are having a lot of problems. What about lemoning this one out?

My wife picked up the car today on the way to work. I called to speak with the service writer to get the info on the fix. I am going to call tomorrow as well and actually speak to the tech who worked on the car. Anyway I was told the cam sensor was faulting because it was the pickup for the sensor was dirty. Once it was clean the fault went away. Seems kind of odd :? The writer did not know if the sensor pickup was a internal part or external. When I asked how it got dirty there was no real answer. The new timing belt ended up getting pulled and put back on again. I am not sure how many times it came off and was reinstalled. I was told they thought it may have jumped a tooth when it was pulled off??? The car was retimed multiple times before they decided it was a dirty sensor. I will repost more info after I speak to the actual mechanic.
