The Warm Stall Issue Arises Once Again

Volkswagen already posted a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) for this problem on 24v VR6 engines. I’ve just been too lazy to take it in.
But yesterday evening my poor lil’ GTI stalled three times before I could get it to stay running. It’s a classic case of this documented problem, and I need to get it taken care of this time. Basically, after driving the car for a bit to get it to operating temp, then stopping for say 20 minutes, then trying to start it again results in a rough idle or stall.
I’ve posted the TSB in a previous post here. If you have this problem, print out the TSB stuff and take it to your dealer. Free fix!

My 2007 Rabbit had the same problem. It took 4 trips to the dealer before they figured out the problem (faulty Charcoal canister).
