The car has been plugged into a computer for diagnostics, there are zero codes given hence the advice given so far.

Might be worth checking/cleaning your MAP sensor in the first instance then, following that it's a case of fingers crossed with no codes. I'd likely go with fuel pump afterwards, but obviously can't say for sure especially if it's sporadic, literally the worst issue to have! Good luck

I was thinking the same, VCDS would be my go-to for this.

I'd be amazed if it's not fly by wire, my old 2000 Passat was FBW. Any way of testing to check if it's worn? Without replacing it obviously! I was thinking it could also be the DMF failing/failed?

I bought a Bosch set recently from Amazon for my Passat, they're spot on

Could be the mass air flow sensor (MAF) on its way out?

@CBW & @picasso A new plate heat exchanger was delivered today, I've just fitted it, and everything's sorted. Thanks very much for your advice, it's truly appreciated!

I thought as much, thanks for confirming. I'll check out the heat exchanger and will let you know. Thanks for the help!

Thanks Picasso, something for me to check out. Interestingly, I emailed the diverter valve supplier originally assuming it was faulty, and they've told me it's likely a pump fault. It appears to be working fine to me, do you think there's a chance it could cause this?

Hi @CBW , Thanks for the reply. Sensing tubes checked no, diverter replaced upon recommendation, PCB replaced due to continual flashing power light. PCB cured the power light issue, problem with CH coming on remains!

Hi all, After many faithful years, my boiler has started playing up! When DHW is called, both micro switches on the diverter are engaged (pins push out) despite the CH being off. A new diverter has been fitted, along with new PCB and AAV (old one was leaking). Boiler is a Main 24HE combi. Does...

Hi Notch, It was a cement screed (with fibers in it, presumably for reinforcement) laid when our extension was built, to raise the floor to meet the existing; the screed had a high point, which is the root cause of the issue (the tiler knew about this). When the tiler leveled the floor (after...

Scratch that, we just tried with a 70mm chisel on an SDS, and the cables are being ripped out with the tiles. Looks like it's an insurance job, and several more weeks until we get anything sorted. :(

Hi all, I'm midway through having my kitchen tiled with 600x300 10mm polished granite tiles, laid over a free-wire electric UFH system (DCM Pro) which was laid over 6mm insulation boards and then self leveled; the subfloor is concrete with a 20mm screed on top. We've now got a problem, where...

Haha! I gathered!!
