What is your question?
Hello, I have a volkswagen tiguan 2018 tsi 2.0t, recently I ran out of gas and on my way to get gas the car ran out and shook and turned off, I put some gas in it and then the car started and it started shaking and the rpm would come down and up and suddenly the car would turn off, I called a towing truck and I took the car to a mechanic where he said the problem was a cracked piston due to the dirty debris from no gas and it broke the piston (i wasn’t there when he got the pistons out, he just showed me a “cracked piston”), he opened the engine and got it out and replaced the piston, after just two days the same thing happened again, I will start the car after 10 seconds the car engine will shake and make knocking noises and the rpm will go down and up and the car will turn off, I heard somewhere it might be a MAF sensor issue, the mechanic didn’t mention it, but whenever I unplug the sensor the car works fine it doesn’t shake or knock or turn off, Can you please help me ?
What makes this problem better or worse?
it’s starts when the car is idle and works fine without the MAF sensor
