Only starts when it wants to no rime or reason. After towing it to a mechanic, it started up for him he found no problems and sent me home with a 500 dollar bill and clean bill of health. Next day same problem off and on. Going to try replacing the fuel filter, then the fuel pump.

It was the fuel pump

The reason why it does not start when hot and only starts when it has cooled down a little is because your Timing belt stretches a little when hot and your engine management picks it up and immediately shuts it down. So change the timing belt and you'll be sorted. Stay away from VW dealers, they going to make you buy things you don't need.

Gearbox failure

Volkswagen Amarok 2018 Double cab  13048 miles
After 9 months and 21000km, the engine wouldn't start. VW service found dead short in gearbox. They said not repairable and ordered a new Transmission. When transmission removed, mechanic said and showed me immusification in oil cooler lines. They drained oil and found the colour brown and water in bottom. Now VW will not replace under warranty. Now going through Govt to force them to replace transmission. Service manager admitted there was no evidence of vehicle being submerged. This is totally unacceptable.

Hi Mate
It's Houman and I am having exactly same issue with my 12 months Amarok with warranty repair rejection.
Did you ended up fixing the car under warranty with Amarok and if did how?
Thank you
