Hello.
I bought a VW Golf VI 1.6 TDI 105 horses from 2010 a month ago from a work colleague.
The mileage of the car is 120000 km and it is real.
For a few days I noticed that after starting a cold engine the car lost its power (slowly accelerating) after a short time everything was back to normal and the car was "pulling from the bottom". I thought it was supposed to be because "it was supposed to get hot" :)
Today, coming home from work, the situation was similar, but I had to accelerate sharply in 2nd gear, the revs slowly increased and I could feel the loss of power. The engine suddenly "lost" power during acceleration and there was a jerk, and at the same time the indicators showed on the clocks:
flashing glow plug indicator and at the same time the cruise control icon and the inscription "Err"
The car ran, but with less power. I stopped and turned off the engine. I fired it up and everything was back to normal...
I was looking for information on the Internet and many topics indicate a problem with the EGR or DPF.
I know that the previous owner had a problem with the EGR and replaced it with a used one.
The problem returned and he decided to blank the EGR and change the engine software to "remove" it.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to the diagnostic interface, I know it's a guess...
Maybe someone faced a similar problem?
