I feel your pain. My pumped failed at 58000 on my 2010 and I had to jump through hoops with VoA to get the entire fuel system replaced. First they would only replace only the pump. It failed, took it back, replaced the rail. Then it failed on them. Finally they replaced the entire fuel system.Hopefully I'm not screwed. I just bought a 2010 Sportwagen TDI. This will be jetta Tdi number 3. 2 previous 2000 alh. I love that engine and did all work myself. Number 2 is going strong at 240k. I know how to care for a diesel.
Bought a 2010 to be the new family car. Drove it from CA to albuquerque no issues. Stalled in a left turn of traffic would not restart. Towed it home, pulled the filter and found the dreaded metal flakes. Car has 140k on it. Stall was 5 secs aft glow plug light illuminated and check engine illuminated. Cel code was fuel pressure low p087.
Where do I go from here? Will VW cover this or should I see if my insurance will? I read that usaa had covered a previous failure. Is there any way to convert to an alh setup? What about a 4bt injection pump. I'm not a fan of this cr setup. Please help, baby is on the way and the car is dead
On the other hand, my neighbors mother, with exact same vehicle..failed at 130000 miles. Replaced entire fuel system...no hoops, no questions. She is in New Jersey. Good luck.
