Mate of mine has a B6 Passat PD140 and it broke down yesterday leaving his missus and 3 month old stuck on the motorway. breakdown service just towed it home. Popped in and checked for error codes this morning for him - just one 01314 -036 ECM sporadic communications. Googling shows this is quite easy to generate just with a failed start. No other codes.
It does start, takes a fair amount of cranking - which doesn't feel smooth, and then feels like it is miss firing. Any thoughts on the problem? One of my thoughts was a failed injector - he called his local garage who said unplug the Air flow meter and try to start it. He will try that later but the symptoms seem a bit extreme to me for that.
Anything sound familiar to others? or any ideas?
