What problems are there with the Volkswagen Golf TDI?
Years 2008-2012

Answer

On this model of car from the German manufacturer, some malfunctions have been found in the anti-pollution system, specifically with the EGR valve and the particulate filter. In detail, there have been cases of significant smoke emissions during the regeneration phase, and this last problem could also be attributed to worn injectors. Additionally, cases of premature failure of the water pump have been observed, especially in first-generation engines.
