The high pressure fuel pump broke leaving metal shaving in my fuel tank. I had this replaced at 38k miles and now it is broke again at 78k. Vw extended the warranty for 2006-2012 vehicles for 10 yrs or 120k miles. But since my vehicle is a 2013 they will not covered it. I believe they are still using the same faulty fuel pump for the 2013. *tr

I was driving the car approximately 40 miles per hour on a straight road, when all of the sudden the engine lost power and i started coasting in the middle of traffic. I would press the gas and the engine would rev, but no power would be delivered. It was unlike anything i've experienced before with the car. It was like i was in a false neutral, the rpms would increase but the car would not accelerate when i was…

The car completely lost power while in motion and i had to pull off the roadway in heavy traffic. The dealer told me that the tdi (diesel) fuel system had a complete failure and imploded into many very small metal parts. Vw is replacing the entire fuel system, but not the engine. I believe metal in the fuel lines is cause for a complete engine replacement as they cannot prove the contamination was limited to the…
