VW Arteon Owners Face Critical Fuel Injector Problems

Had almost identical issues with my 2018 VW Passat last winter. As someone with some basic maintenance experience, these symptoms immediately raised red flags about the fuel system performance. The engine would misfire during cold starts, and the overall performance was really poor. Fuel consumption jumped by about 25%. The engine would occasionally stutter, especially during acceleration. Took it to a workshop where they diagnosed dirty fuel injectors affecting the engine performance. The complete service included: Fuel injector cleaning and testing, New seals installation, Computer system reset, Test drive verification Total cost was 515€, which included parts and labor. The difference in engine performance was noticeable immediately after the repair. Fuel consumption returned to normal and the rough idle completely disappeared. To provide more specific advice for your Arteon: What engine size do you have and how many kilometers has it done? Also, what type of fuel do you typically use? These details would help determine if your situation matches what I experienced. Make sure to get a proper diagnostic done. Modern fuel injection systems are complex, and symptoms can sometimes be misleading. The repair cost was worth it considering the potential damage that could occur if left unaddressed.

Last service was completed at 50000km, just before these issues started appearing. After reading your detailed response, I believe we are dealing with similar fuel injector problems. The sudden performance drop and increased fuel consumption match my situation exactly. The misfire during startup has become more frequent over the past week, and the engine clogging sensation is particularly noticeable during morning starts. Considering the symptoms and potential engine damage risks, I will schedule a workshop visit for a proper diagnosis and likely injector cleaning or replacement. Quick follow-up, did your repair include preventive replacement of any additional fuel system components? And was your warranty still valid when this happened?

Thanks for the additional details about your service history. Like you, my issues started shortly after a routine service, which initially made me question if something was overlooked. My repair focused mainly on the injectors, but the technician recommended replacing the fuel filter as a preventive measure since it plays a crucial role in preventing future clogging. The total repair package ended up including: Full injector service and cleaning, New fuel filter installation, Fuel system pressure test, Performance verification Unfortunately, my warranty had expired about 6 months before these issues started. However, the repair costs were reasonable considering the immediate improvement in performance and fuel efficiency. The misfire symptoms you described during cold starts are very similar to what I experienced. The morning clogging and rough idle improved dramatically after the repair. One key point: make sure they check the fuel pressure regulator during diagnosis, as this can sometimes contribute to similar performance issues. The investment in a complete fuel system service helped prevent more serious engine damage. My fuel consumption dropped back to normal within the first tank after repair, and the engine has been running smoothly for over 8 months now.

Thanks for sharing those repair details. Given how closely our situations align, I feel more confident about the diagnosis now. I checked and my warranty expired 2 months ago, talk about bad timing! The information about the fuel filter replacement is particularly helpful. I will definitely request a complete fuel system inspection, including the pressure regulator test you mentioned. The misfire and rough idle have become quite concerning, and I want to prevent any potential engine damage before it gets worse. I am encouraged to hear about the immediate performance improvements you experienced after the repair. The increasing frequency of cold start issues and significant drop in vehicle performance make me believe waiting longer would be unwise. Going to schedule that workshop visit first thing tomorrow and will make sure they do a comprehensive fuel system checkup. The total repair cost seems reasonable considering the potential consequences of leaving these issues unaddressed. If the final cost comes in around 515€ plus the additional fuel filter replacement, that would be acceptable given the improved performance and peace of mind.
