Showing a single fuel-up

Dec 3 2021

Filled filter with fresh diesel. Primed filter by cycling ignition a few times. Significant power increase, boost came in hard and would overboost to about 40-44psi. ~300 miles in, harsher vibration at idle started, ended up driving tank down to about 1 gallon left in tank (within 40 miles of vibration starting). There was hesitation at giving fuel releasing clutch in 1st gear right before fill up. After fillup the 1st gear hesitation subsided. Harsh vibration at idle continued. Took vehicle home and then let it sit overnight, next day ran code block 035 to fully prime fuel filter, which fixed the overboosting (now back to usual 35psi. Drops and holds to 30). At 1000 miles after fuel filter change, harshness at idle is worsening, power has dropped a little. No codes present when scanning VCDS. Oil pressure/temps are normal.
