I would say yes they have, think the absolute highest number I have seen was .25 but mostly they were sat around these figures

My poor mechanic rewired from the ECU up to the injector loom and now she is running properly

The rabbit hole deepens, injector 1 is showing bad numbers, but when scanned again just before replacing the injector no 2 is throwing off a fault status.....

Hi Mitch, Cylinders 2 and 3 were pretty close to zero I think, injector 1 was something over 2, possibly a minus 2, I am reliant on what my expert told me, he also gave me a list of parts to order, injector, seals, various bolts, loom etc. Loom arrived and has been fitted, sadly no improvement, inje...

Was able to get my car onto a vag com, injector number 1 is over fuelling and number 4 is trying to compensate, its strange how this doesnt throw any sort of code off, had to go into the live data and look at the readings and my chap could see it was out of spec to diagnose the issue, going to throw...

So I should be getting her scanned on saturday, whether I still have any hair left by then is another matter. We have fitted a new lift pump which provided some improvement. new fuel and air filters, that did nothing second hand supposedly "good working order" tandem pump and gasket. after...

Still not been able to pin my mechanic down and get a scan done, BUT I have been able to spend alot of time and miles narrowing down behaviour I am posting this in the hopes that it may help someone in future when we eventually solve this. Any Gear even 6th will pull smoothly if the engine speed is ...

So I was not able to get a scan done, cant get hold of my expert I replaced the pump in the tank with a new one, and this has given a big improvement to drivability, but we are still not fully cured, we can still get nasty shaking when trying to accelerate in 4th etc just asking for mid level torque...

Thanks for that very detailed reply, I am hoping to get a live scan done tomorrow by my friend who is a VW expert and all round top bloke, sadly he has been away all this week so not been able to pick his brains or access his diagnostics machine, I definitely am leaning towards the lift pump being t...

Fuel filter condition was not closely inspected im afraid, I can probably go find it though. Lift pump is silent, literally even with the gromet above it undone it cannot be heard when either priming from key or when running. Pump is a bit black, not horrendously so but definitely a bit, I took the ...

So today I removed the old fuel filter, completely dried out the housing, installed the new filter, filled the housing with fresh diesel, none of that pouring the rubbish from the old filter into the new one that you see on youtube, reassembled the housing, got splashed with diesel because I had put...

After the results this morning I will do some tests this evening on the way home, plenty of traffic lights and roundabouts to accelerate from, if my revised observation that it only shakes in 3rd to 6th gear then I would be expecting the issue to be gearbox or mounts related, as presumably if it was...

Further testing may actually point to gearbox mounts, today I am in the city which means alot more aggressive driving, I tend to short shift alot, force of habbit, today I was holding on to 2nd gear for alot longer than I would normally and I dont think she shakes in 1st or 2nd, only from 3rd upward...

doesn't seem to be a left right thing, just a whole car juddering, I would have thought something like a drive shaft would give me trouble consistently instead of having brief periods when it works, its a lovely smooth ride when not trying to accelerate, and even shortly after starting up.

Thanks Sammy, I will add that to pot of suggestios please keep em coming! all ideas are welcome

Not daft at all! as I stated any suggestions are welcome. as I said I am not a trained mechanic (on cars anyways) Another symptom that I have noticed and potentially might steer me towards the fuel system is that I just ran the Mrs to the village shop, stopped, sat there for a few mins turned off, s...

Hi Folks, Picked up a 2008 B6 Estate yesterday, it was advertised as spares repair with a fault if you boot it over 3k revs which I figured I can diagnose at leisure as I mostly keep a diesel below 2k revs on my back road pottering about however the car has a fault I was not aware of (and was not de...
