Wondering . .
Let's do some basic math based on the NHTSA announcement,
as anything else is just conjecture:
NHTSA listed 160 failures in their report.
VW has presented "information" about fuel-related failures for 50
of these cases, and 20 of those 50 are "dealer service" related.
That leaves only 30 TDI "non-dealer" cases for which VW has presented
any supporting evidence of fuel contamination.
VW has not explained, or can not explain, why the other 110 HPFP failures happened.
I for one do not believe the relatively small numbers that VW is telling us exist!
I'm doing my own sort of independent survey of as many local dealers as I
can to be able to ascertain how many HPFP failures each dealer has seen.
Already I have one dealer that has repaired eight (8) HPFP failures.
Now, multiply that many by the number of VW dealers
nationwide and, well see what I am driving at ?
The total has got to me many many more than the figures that VW
is talking about, therefore making the failure percentages higher!
Of course, not all dealers will have repaired that many.
However, there will be dealers who have repaired many more than that,
and of course, there may be dealers who have not had to repair any!
What if everyone were to simply ask their service adviser or service manager
how many HPFP failures their dealership has seen and post that somewhere here?
Would we then not have a much higher total, well over the 200 or 210 that are spoken of now?
Let's start off with someone
I know who knows of more than just a few:
Harvieux . . How many do you know of, and were they all at the same dealership?
