Golf mk6 gti

[KeeSeong]

Hi Sifus out there, anyone experience the car knock down in the middle of road while waiting for trafic then I sent for checking, diagnosis shown fuel shortage.

They said they have reset/clear the error and took out the fuel sensor and blow/clean it....they said not fuel pump problem.

Now exactly 1mth later, tis morning I drive around 30 or 40km/h then suddenly stop again... I waited for 2mins then restart and went to nearest station for fueling then ok already..

Any1 can advise what’s the problem?? Tqtq

Fuel filter also can cause this problem, and even fault fuel injector, however, i would still check fuel pump as the lack of pressure in the fuel tank may cause the fuel pump not totally submerged in the fuel tank to pump out the fuel.

How low was your fuel gauge when this happened ?

Ohhh.. tat time Still left 1 bar. (the warning zone) haha. But the warning zone still can drive for 30km.. so can I say my fuel pump is getting old which can’t support at warning zone? That means Nx time I have to make sure my fuel is always half or above ?

Some fuel pump might be not submerge deep enough to contact with the fuel pool when its near empty. Does it happen at the first warning ? Not necessary something to do with your fuel pump. Fuel pump symptoms often involve with choking at mid to high rpm, hard to start, rough idling.

Tat time happen, it was not at warning.. jus slightly above the warning line.. if I don’t go for fueling, i think the warning light will appear.

Now I’m afraid it will broke down again :(
If not fuel pump problem then I’m confuse.. what else can I do? Any parts to change?? Plsss advise sifu...

I think its for safety for fuel pump . Running low on fuel will eventually cause the fuel pump to burn out and leave you stranded with a costly repair bill. Best fuel up before low fuel warning shows up.

I know of some cars that cannot be left to the last bar of petrol and needs to be more than 2 bars or more. Suggest you try keeping your petrol level at 2 bar or more and see if this die off still happens. Since you've already brought it to the workshop there's no reason for us to doubt them since they said there's nothing wrong. It could be just the float in your petrol tank isn't accurate and when you run to 1 bar of petrol it is mis-reading it when it is actually lower than 1 bar.

Even if they are submerged, running low fuel the fuel still splashes around and especially when in corners the fuel will tilt to one side. I kena before one time, did a corner, suddenly like engine want to die off, once after corner back to normal. Nowadays never leave until low fuel before refill.....lol

not just that, submerged pump is like an aquarium pump. The submerged part aided in cooling the pump.

try get a mechanic to check your High pressure fuel pump. looks like a fuel starving from a leaky HPFP.
