Period mentioned: 2012–2015
Symptoms: Jerking and a knocking noise at low revs.
Possible cause described: L'argus (July 2015) lists on the second-generation 2.0 TDI common rail jerking and knocking at low revs, cured by replacing the injector. For the same generation it names the exhaust gas temperature sensor (engine, particulate filter or glow plug warning lights) and the EGR valve (rough running from 1/1 to 30/4/2014).
Check for the garage: Have the garage read each injector's fuel correction values and do a return-flow test: that shows which one is failing, so not all four get replaced.
