Hello Everyone,
Im posting this on behalf of a friend. He is having Idling/RPM fluctuating issues and misfires. See below for a synopsis of his issue. Also see engine codes below. Any help and or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
"2009 Volkswagen GTI
81k Miles
2.0TSI
Issue:
When I start the car the RPMs shoot up to about 2k and stay there for a while then slowly drop down to 1k. Once it gets to 1k it starts to flutter for about 10 seconds randomly. And then when I am driving and I shift the car into neutral it goes from 1k and quickly jumps to 2k and revs there for about 5-7seconds then drops to 1k and starts fluttering again. The check engine light appeared, and when I had it read I got random cylinder misfire codes. I took the car too Volkswagen to have them run a diagnostic on it and they came back and told me that there was a leak in the rear crankshaft seal (rear main seal) and that was causing the PCV (positive crankcase valve) to malfunction which is creating a vacuum leak which is causing the high revs and fluttering. I replaced the PCV and that helped the rpm spike and fluttering while the car is idling, but I am still having the same issue with the RPM spike when I shift in to neutral. I took it to a guy that does a lot of work on VWs and he cleared the codes and that caused the motor to start shaking and running very hard, it also started making a Knocking noise that it was not making before. Then he pulled the codes again and got a “leak in air system” code. The only mods I have done are a Unitronic cold air intake, R8 coil packs, and NGK BKR7EIX spark plugs. Also the intake manifold was replaced by the place I bought it from, about a month and a half ago. Will replacing the rear crankshaft seal (rear main seal) put a stop to that? Or is there something else I should be looking for?"
