As I didn't find an answer on google I thought I'll ask here before registering to a TDI forum.
My VW Bora (ASV engine; VP37) made some problems today.
It started perfect this morning, I went to mcd's for lunch and then again it started perfect. I drove away and when I wanted to shift in 3rd it just stalled.
So I rolled to the side of the road and tried starting it but it sounded like it only ran on 3 cylinders and there was lots of white smoke out the exhaust and it didn't want to rev.
So I shut it off and checked oil level and checked the coolant. As it all seemed normal I tried to start it again and it ran perfect. Let it sit on idle for a minute and drove back as it should, no problems.
There was no check engine light and I don't have a chance to read the codes until the weekend.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem is/was?
