how to fix P0300 code in my Volkswagen Golf MK7.5 (2020-Present)?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and safety equipment.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent any electrical issues.

2. Inspect and Replace Ignition Components

• Spark Plugs

  • Remove the engine cover if necessary.
  • Carefully remove the spark plug wires/coil packs.
  • Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs.
  • Inspect the spark plugs for wear, carbon buildup, or damage.
  • Replace with new spark plugs that meet OEM specifications (typically NGK or Bosch for VW).
  • Torque new spark plugs to manufacturer specifications (usually around 22 lb-ft).

• Ignition Coils

  • If spark plugs are in good condition, inspect ignition coils.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from each coil.
  • Remove the bolts securing the ignition coils and pull them out.
  • Replace any faulty ignition coils with new ones, ensuring connectors are securely attached.

3. Fuel System Inspection

• Fuel Pressure Test
  • Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
  • Turn the ignition to the "On" position (without starting the engine) to check for pressure.
  • Compare the measured fuel pressure to the manufacturer’s specifications (usually around 50-60 psi for the Golf).
  • If the pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and fuel filter for issues.

4. Address Air Intake Leaks

• Inspect the intake manifold and throttle body for any vacuum leaks.
• Tighten or replace any loose clamps or damaged hoses.
• If necessary, clean the throttle body with an appropriate cleaner.

5. Reassemble

• Reinstall any components removed during inspection and repairs.
• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
