I am posting this topic for a friend. His 02 Jetta TDI has left him stranded on the highway
for the third time in a time span of about 1.5 months. The first time the deal (Lehigh Valley
Volkswagon) blamed the injection pump and replaced it. The second time they blamed
contaminated fuel drained the tank and fuel lines and proceeded to void the warrenty of
fuel system. Now it is at the dealer for the third time. My friend is throughly disappointed and
will most likely unload the two TDIs that he has because they both have had a lot of problems.
The symptoms that he discribed to me are that the car started fine (temp 5 degree F) drove about
15 miles the car started to sputter then quit. He waited while thecar restarted and quit again
about a mile later. He then had the car towed. Note: all three occurances have had the same
symptoms. Can aybody give any ideas since the dealer does not seem to Know what it is
doing.
