A little under 3 years ago (oct. 2010) i started noticing a faint gas smell coming from my car. Over a 2 week period the smell gradually got stronger and my mpg slowly decreased. After taking my car into a shop it was determined there was a crack near the fuel pump gasket and the fuel pump needed to be replaced. Now 2 weeks ago (may 2013) the exact same symptoms started up again and after taking my car back to the…

Electronic fuel pump cracks and leaks fuel onto live electrical connections to fuel pump located under rear passenger seat. By time you smell gas inside of vehicle, gas has puddled about 1/4" deep on the electrical connections powering the fuel pump. Dealer warns not to drive due to risk of fire or explosion. Happened first in may of 2007 at 64,000 miles. Vw unconcerned and did not remedy. Happened again may of 2009…

Noise started, a high-pitched whining. Took my car to my mechanic and it is the same darned thing it was in february, 2008! The fuel pump. He tells me he changes them out on vw's all the time. The part is a vw dealer part only and it's defective, just like the 2003 vw passat pumps were! *tr

I get the runaround from the dealer, vista vw…

On march 25, 2007, i woke up to a strong fuel leakage odor, seeking for air, almost finding it impossible to breathe properly, forcing me to evacuate my house at late hours of the night the gas smell was coming from my car in the garage. I called dealer, explained matter. Dealer told me my car was no longer under warranty for this kind of service/or repair. The car had 49,419 miles and was 4 years old but volkswagen…

Gas idles like it is stuck when over 40 mph or like i have a stick shift and i am in 3rd gear driving and not switching gears. Two months ago the car went dead while i was driving and the dealership replaced the fuel pump. After about two weeks the check engine light came on and off again and again, then the dealership replaced the coil, but it still has the same problem. *nm
