Running irregularities and ignition misfires. Runs well on gas; problems start on petrol. The engine warning light is on and the car occasionally stutters. The summer tyres catch on the arches over bumps.

Major repairs performed on the car during the last year:

Dual-mass flywheel

Mechatronics solenoid pack

Intake ports walnut-blasted

Spark plugs replaced

Ignition coil replaced

Below is the latest workshop statement on the matter:

KAMUX GAS PASSAT DOES NOT RUN PROPERLY; THE GEARBOX IS SLIPPING. VEHICLE FROM AUTOGEAR. A TEST DRIVE WAS ATTEMPTED, BUT THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY POWERLESS EVEN AFTER CLEARING FAULT CODES. FAULT CODES P0303 AND P305A: IGNITION MISFIRES, CYLINDER 3. SPARK PLUGS REPLACED — THE PLUGS, ESPECIALLY CYLINDER 3, WERE CARBONED, NO IMPROVEMENT. IGNITION COIL FOR CYLINDER 3 REPLACED, NO IMPROVEMENT. LEAKAGE TESTED — THE METER VARIED, SHOWING AROUND 60% LEAKAGE. ON CAMERA THE VALVES LOOK CARBONED AND THE EXHAUST-SIDE VALVES SHOW BLACK MARKS ON THE SEATS; THE VALVES ARE LIKELY LEAKING AND CAUSING MISFIRES. ADDITIONALLY AN OIL LEAK FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE WAS FOUND; IT WAS NOT INVESTIGATED. THE CAR COULD NOT BE REVERSED AT ALL; THE GEAR DID NOT ENGAGE. THE INTAKE PORTS WERE WALNUT-BLASTED CLEAN. RUNNING IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY BUT IGNITION MISFIRES REMAIN. CURRENTLY ISSUES MAINLY WITH CYLINDERS 1 AND 4. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ON GAS RE-FUELING. AFTER ABOUT A 10 KM TEST DRIVE THE CAR STARTED TO RUN WELL. WHEN DRIVEN ON PETROL ONLY (WITHOUT GAS EQUIPMENT) IT RUNS VERY WELL WHEN HOT. THE NEXT DAY A COLD START SHOWED SOME SLIGHT STUTTERING ON PETROL, WITH MISFIRES IN CYLINDER 1. WHEN SWITCHED TO GAS OPERATION IT RAN VERY WELL AND THE TEST DRIVE SHOWED NO PROBLEMS. SO THERE IS SOMETHING ON THE PETROL SIDE, LIKELY THE INJECTORS, SINCE NO FAULT CODES ARE GIVEN. A GENEROUS DOSE OF FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER WAS ADDED TO THE PETROL TANK TO IMPROVE INJECTOR FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE STILL HAS AN ENGINE OIL LEAK THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN INVESTIGATED. FRONT CRANKSHAFT SEAL + A CRACK IN THE OIL SUMP. BOTH WERE REPLACED — NO LEAKS NOTED. THE GEARBOX BEGAN TO OPERATE ON ITS OWN DURING THE TEST DRIVE.

So currently the engine warning light is on. It runs poorly on cold petrol and stutters occasionally. On gas it ran well. A well-equipped Passat in generally tidy condition.
