Another update. Got stranded on the side of the road with a P0301 code and smokey exhaust. VW replaced fuel injector #1 under warranty. Good to go with improved response and power. Within 3 months I have had injectors 1,2,4 replaced, water pump replaced, valves cleaned, MAF replaced. Now I'm just waiting for #2 injector to go. VW told me they know it will probably fail but their hands are tied until it does.

ncampos was correct, exhaust leak. The manifold stud on the driver's side snapped off and blew out part of the gasket. Once the area heats up the metal expands making a better seal. Dealership quoted $1,200, most of it labor, none of it warranty. :mad0259:
