Hey all,
I made a thread here http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198809 a while back, and wanted to reach out again after attempting several fixes for an issue I've been having.
My car is a 2007 GTI with DSG, and a bit over 110k miles now. This issue started soon after getting an APR remap, though switching back to stock does not resolve the issues.
There's an intense fuel smell pouring through the air vents under heavy acceleration, idle is rough when starting cold (sounds like it was cammed, or something), and it will spontaneously go into limp mode after idling / coasting for too long (P2177, lean idle, though the error will often be missing while in limp mode). Occasionally will receive P0299 (Underboost), though I haven't seen this for a while.
One thing to note is that it will fail a test for fuel supply using VCDS (basic settings > fuel supply), but everything else passes.
Fixes tried include:
Replaced front / rear breather (Rear had a tear through the diaphragm)
Cleaned intake valves (they were atrocious)
Replaced fuel filter (it was incredibly old, and makes me wonder if it caused a fuel line to rupture / crack somewhere)
Injector seal replacement
MAF replacement
New intake (Now a Neuspeed P-Flo)
Rev D diverter valve
R8 coil packs and new plugs
Additionally, the car has a stage I APR remap, and a neuspeed crank pulley. A fuel test was done for the LPFP, showing the pressure was fine, though volume is on the low end. We've also smoked the engine more times than I can count. Exhaust system is entirely stock, if that matters.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
