Mini uses Toyota, PSA, or BMW diesels depending on year.
you are correct, it was just a rumor that they wanted to use the multijet but they never did.Mini uses Toyota, PSA, or BMW diesels depending on year.
OT, but I don't believe you're correct. No PSA vehicle that I know of used the Fiat lump. Other way around, actually, as Fiat branded an HDI as their own...you are correct, it was just a rumor that they wanted to use the multijet but they never did.
it was used in Fiat, Lancia, Suzuki and on the Ford Ka, some Citroen and some Peugeot
From the data that dweisel gathered and summarized and the data available from the NHTSA, there does not appear to be any correlation to mileage and age of the vehicle. There seems to be a slightly higher failures rate in the south western states, but in some states the sales are so low that it is again difficult to draw conclusions. Some of the failures, probably due to misfueling, happened on the first tank, while at least one that comes to mind had around 100,000 miles.Regarding the probability of failure being 0.53% for mkv and 0.11% for mkvi, I think what's more interesting is the cumulative distribution of failure.
As these cars age, how steep is that curve? Does occurrence of failure increase significantly after a point in time? Has anyone already taken a look at that?
As far as I have read in these forums, it seems that failures can occur at any point in time, which resemble a random distribution. There is simply not enough data to confirm or disprove that failures increase with time. Of courses, it doesn't say too many good things about their quality.
As such, unless there is a sharp rise after an unacceptable short period of time or a high enough random chance of failure, I doubt VW is going to do much about it.
This really sucks for us as we are sitting on a box, the content of which could be a time bomb.
Just got back yesterday. Yes, it is complete with new fuel system, all 28 parts. Service did not provide fault codes, but detailed explanation did indicate metal in the pump, and fuel system. Dealer provided an identical Passat, gas version. I have to say, having driven both now, I am hooked on the performance of the TDI. I hope this issue gets resolved before another failure.
A Q7 TDI passed me today, prompting the question, are Audis experiencing the same issue? What pump/injectors, are they using?
You have an $8-10,000 House Payment???I think that the failure is becoming more mute because I know of plenty of commonrails over 100k with no issues... Plus the parts are coming down in price... I wish they just make the kit dirt cheap so if we do get a failure outside warranty it's not a house payment to fix it

Your reading comprehension failed you that timeYou have an $8-10,000 House Payment???
don't think so.......it says cheaper but offers no price.Your reading comprehension failed you that time
Makes me wonder if he didn't know that the 2012 Passat was also made in Chattanooga? I'm glad you got some extended warranty and that you have decided to get as far away from that car as you can.Oh, and I take the time to tell him how I think the quality of vw has gone down...since I had to drive loaners over the 45 days they had my car... I had 2012 passat gasser, 2012 jetta tdi, 2012 jetta gasser and 2012 gti...he starts trying to sell me on the new 2013 passat, blah, blah blah, made in our plant in chattanooga....unbelievable.
wish I could run that fast from it. I stilll like the car, it's style and it's pep, going to be hard to find a replacement. I got to find another brand of vehicle that I like and that get's good gas mileage. I drive 74 miles a day round trip so need to get good gas mileage.Makes me wonder if he didn't know that the 2012 Passat was also made in Chattanooga?

CAREFUL! Don't say "gas mileage" if it's a diesel!wish I could run that fast from it. I stilll like the car, it's style and it's pep, going to be hard to find a replacement.

I gotta say, I just passed a brand new Ford Fusion Hybrid on the highway and it was a good looking car.I got to find another brand of vehicle that I like and that get's good gas mileage. I drive 74 miles a day round trip so need to get good gas mileage.
Drove in one this week, the titanium, not the hybrid, solid car. However, first year? Not so much...let them get the bugs out first.I gotta say, I just passed a brand new Ford Fusion Hybrid on the highway and it was a good looking car.
Drop dead gorgeous.I gotta say, I just passed a brand new Ford Fusion Hybrid on the highway and it was a good looking car.

I hope you can still laugh, after all you've been through.
Actually that's not a confirmed HPFP failure. Still waiting for the diagnosis. Of course, with him running B99, there's no telling what might have happened.There was a report of hpfp failure in a 2011 Golf tdi using mostly b99 in this thread:

I second the kudos to the Fusion, if I start seeing Passat HPFP's going south in any numbers the Fusion Hybrid will probably be my replacement.I gotta say, I just passed a brand new Ford Fusion Hybrid on the highway and it was a good looking car.
That is why I called it a report and not a confirmed hpfp failure.Actually that's not a confirmed HPFP failure. Still waiting for the diagnosis. Of course, with him running B99, there's no telling what might have happened.
Rosaluma just had one with 2012 passat with only 5000m on it, but I guess that is unusual?!.Just got back yesterday. Yes, it is complete with new fuel system, all 28 parts.

I ALMOST sold my Jetta TDI for a Fusion. Decided to ride out the TDI saga, and see how it goes. I already have a 7 year/100,000 mile warranty, and I got it in an email from the warranty company (VW's warranty) stating that the HPFP was covered. So, I decided I'm in it for the long haul. Besides, by the time 4 more years goes by, I'm sure there will be an acceptable-to-me fix, even if it is that I spend 2000.00 or so to buy an improved pump. Too many smart people are working on a fix...even if they don't work for BOSCH or VW! Who knows, maybe BOSCH and VW are hard at work in the background....I second the kudos to the Fusion, if I start seeing Passat HPFP's going south in any numbers the Fusion Hybrid will probably be my replacement.
