I've had it to two dealers - same response. The 2nd flat out said it is likely the injectors or HPFP and that they have had a lot of dieselgate TDIs with fuel system problems from sitting for years. However, VW won't fix it without the mechanic sitting in the seat when it happens.

Not my worry anymore
