Canadian HPFP failure
Year:2010
Build Date: ???
Make/Model: Golf TDI
Tranny: DSG, 6M 6M
Mileage: (actual miles at time of problem or when problem began) 132000 kms
Diesel Fuel Source: (Shell, Exxon, etc.) Petro Canada
Additives: (Yes/No) No
Problem: (HPFP failed, fuel canister rusted, etc. Give as much factual data as you can.) Driving along and had flashing glowplug light. Car went into "limp" mode for 10k then stalled on the hiway, Attepmts to restart were unsucsessful. Towed to dealer where after two days it was diagnosed with complete contamination of the fuel system from metal shards from HPFP destruction. Because it is out of warranty my battle with VW Canada will be an uphill one.
Dealer: Towed to Valley Autohouse Abbotsford B.C. Canada
Status: (still pending, dealer fixed everything, resolved, dealer refused, paid out of pocket)Pending
Costs of repairs to be covered by VWofCanada. I have been quoted a "minimum of $7000 for the repair.I am in the "wait and see mode" I am prepared to get a lawyer when the time comes. Nobody should have to be held hostage by a car manufacturer.
