VW Golf 7 1.6 TDI (2015) – Rough idle, cold start issues, engine feels jerky

Hey everyone,

I’ve got a VW Golf 7 1.6 TDI Diesel (2015). Recently I’ve been having some issues with it:

  • The car struggles to start when cold and idles really rough. I need to let it warm up for a bit, otherwise it stalls.
  • While driving, it sometimes feels a bit jerky, like the engine isn’t running smoothly.

So far, I’ve replaced the camshaft position sensor and the coolant temperature sensor, but the problem is still there.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks in advance!
