This is now the second time the MAF on my 2013 VW Golf R has gone bad. At $185 a pop for a new one this is getting old. had the car since 2013, and this is the second MAF in the last 2 years.last one went last year around this same time of year. i come to find out that this is a know (issue10-15years) that they haven't fixed yet.....sure would be nice if they would.
I was driving my VW Gold mk7 TDI 1.6 Bluemotion last Sunday, when whilst driving on my second gear something went off and all the power of the engine stood at a slow limit, in which my first and second gear could not reach even 40 Km/h. I towed it and went to the mechanic and whilst driving it a bit to put in the garage, ( since it could drive but at a really slow pace it's like it shifted to idle drive ) white smoke really stinky was coming out of the silencer.
Mind you - No errors on dashboard, just the VW Golf Mk7 glow plugs warning light was going on and off at the beginning and it never showed again on the dashboard.
I am really worried cause its almost new and the mechanic is still checking what is wrong with it.. Any comments please????
