Hey all just looking for some advice on the ongoing issue I've been having with my R. So I bought my 18 R on April 27. Not even a week later I start getting an EPC Error code while driving under a load at when the engine is cold. Cuts me to 4k rpms Max and takes away any power the car has.
I took it to my dealership after work that day. This first time I brought it in they pretty much said that VW doesn't know why it's happening and started switching things out that "might" fix the issue, as instructed by VW. They started with changing one of the oil pressure sensors. This didn't work. Then moved onto changing the wire to this pressure sensor. Nope. And then an oil change.... And of course it's back at the dealer the next day.
Biggest issue with all this is that Everytime they do a fix I've gotta go pick the car up to test it since the error will only show up under specific circumstances. Engine has to be cold and you've gotta get on a 60mph road before it starts warming up. The dealership is far from any 60mph roads and by the time they get to any nearby, the cars already at operating temp. So I've gotta go there grab a loaner each time just to bring it back the next day for a car I've had for 3 weeks already and have barely been able to drive.
Currently the dealership is saying their hands are tied having to go down the checklist VW has instructed. Any ideas on what I should do about this?
