MKL, power loss and uneven engine running - VW Scirocco 2012
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2012 VW Scirocco is experiencing power loss, uneven engine running, and starting issues, with the check engine light on. The problem might be related to the camshaft sensor, as similar symptoms were resolved in another VW model by replacing a defective sensor wheel on the camshafts. It is suggested to have the vehicle checked by a mechanic to confirm the cause and determine the necessary repairs.

Thanks for your reply. My Scirocco has now done 65211 km, the last service was recently. Your experience sounds helpful, but I'll keep in mind that it could also be more expensive for me at the garage. Thanks for the info and I'll keep you posted when I know more.

No problem, I'm glad I could help! Yes, it's possible that it could cost you more. It mainly depends on what exactly is faulty and how much effort the repair requires. But fingers crossed that it won't be that expensive. After your visit to the workshop, please report on what was ultimately done and how much it cost. I would find that very interesting. Good luck and hopefully your Scirocco will soon be fit again!

My Audi A6 3.0 stalls when driving. I have changed the fuel pump and relay; I don't know what to do.

Check the fuel filter for any clogs or debris, as a blocked filter can restrict fuel flow and cause stalling. If the filter is clear, consider inspecting the mass airflow sensor, as it can also affect engine performance. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!

Hello, I had something similar with my VW Golf, built in 2010. I have less experience with cars, so please excuse me if I don't get all the technical details right here. It turned out that the sensor wheel on the camshafts was defective. The master mechanic at my garage replaced it and since then my VW has been running smoothly again. The whole thing cost me 695 euros, which was more than I expected. If you need more details, please let me know the exact information about your car (engine details, mileage, etc.). Then I can help you better. Hope this helps you for now.
