MQB - P20200 Fault - EPC

[Treadup]

Morning guys. Helping my brother in law out with his car.

2018 Tiguan with 86,888mi. Epc light is on along with check engine light and “max engine speed 4000 rpm”

Scanned with obd11 and a fuel injector cyl 2 fault P20200 is shown.
What’s your experience with this issue?

I will be doing the maintenance for him most likely so I’m thinking full enjector set and possibly a walnut blasting.

Looks like that injector is failing, I had a P0204/43CE cyl.4 injector circuit fault when a 44km old Golf R injector from a parted out VW test mule was broken and not tested properly. Fun times finding out after job is done.

My neighbor who is an outboard engine mechanic was talking about a pigtail that he has at his shop that he can plug into the harness to see if the injector is getting signal. Haven’t seen a tool like that for VWs. Never needed yet either

There is a recall on this for the tig

Thanks for the heads up.
Also, mileage shouldn’t matter when it comes to recalls?

Everything fails over time. Nothing on a car is warranted forever.

Issue has been resolved. I purchase a fuel injector harness, had to remove the intake manifold and replace the harness, part#06L971627AB.

Wanted to update this post. 2 weeks after I replaced the T8 harness the owner of the car received a notification from VW that this exacts issue has been deemed a significant issue and that they will cover all associated costs up to 120k mi.
I purchased the parts from VW and plan on typing up an invoice for them to submit so I can be compensated for my time. VW charges up to $200/hr from what I was told by a few shops for this time of diagnosis and repair.
