Friend with a VW TDI 120,000 miles.
Has run flawlessly until now; oil and filter changes only.
Now it has a rough idle and some more roughness at about 2200 rpm.
My first thought is injector problems, but all my diesel experience is Mercedes and Ford IDI.
Is there a know problem that comes on at about this mileage (120,000) with these engines? How about cam problems, any history there?
He has put a can or two of Injector cleaner thru it with no improvement.
Should he pull the valve cover and check valve lift? How tough is that?
Thanks for your help.
