Thread would be about a page long with useful information then.

533 um??You should really look at the report yourself.

They still found some really scary samples of regular diesel.
You wouldn't be related to the Company Rep who delivered my 2014, by any chance?The Jetta Hybrid is a great trade alternative for folks fed up with VW still betting the farm on Mk7 [Bosch CP 4.1 HPFP + SCR/urea]. Yeah, I know I just bet the farm on another bunch of potentially unknown latent defects on the new hybrid power plant. But hey it's spark ignition / gasoline fueled (yep Premium Gasoline Required). Just a 150 mile RT and averaged 46 MPG (Winter No AC). Golf TDI DSG under similar conditions never touched this kind of MPG. Just broke 8000 miles, no engine / tranny issues. Climate control head just dumped, but it's being replaced under warranty.
And this is another one.Of course I know, of at least this one, and this one, and this one...tditom said:I'll repeat the question:
Do you know of any Passat HPFP failures not linked to a misfueling event?
I guess you didn't understand what I wrote.
Then again, we in New Jersey may have some trouble being understood.
Using that logic, the current warranty is 5 years/60,000 miles on power train. If the HPFP breaks at 60,001, you will be out of luck and everyone else will know it. Resale value = 0. ???If this ends up with an extended warranty to (say) 120,000 miles, and yours breaks at 120,001, you will be out of luck and everyone else will know it. Resale value = 0.
GoFaster is from Canada.Using that logic, the current warranty is 5 years/60,000 miles on power train. If the HPFP breaks at 60,001, you will be out of luck and everyone else will know it. Resale value = 0. ???
I think I've read 2 or 3 cases where the HPFP was replaced on vehicles with over 100k miles. Setting those two aside, I think it's fairly possible that VW would not cover a warranty claim at 120k miles. That being said, should be understood and will have no impact on resale value.
... except that in the USA, with the NHTSA having an open case hanging over VW's head, VW doesn't want to rock the boat and has been repairing them well outside of warranty. As noted above, that's not the case here in Canada, where the corresponding organization (Transport Canada) is not holding VW's feet to the fire. Ergo ... I no longer own a VW TDI and will not buy anything that has a Bosch CP4 injector pump.Using that logic, the current warranty is 5 years/60,000 miles on power train. If the HPFP breaks at 60,001, you will be out of luck and everyone else will know it. Resale value = 0. ???
In the USA, there have been many cases of that pump beiing replaced well outside of warranty (and over 100,000 mi). Not necessarily without a fight, but they've done it.I think I've read 2 or 3 cases where the HPFP was replaced on vehicles with over 100k miles.

The funny thing is after you get to be a certain age you start asking yourself how long is the DRIVER gonna last! To heck with the car and the fuel pump! Wonder how long it will take to rebuild MY fuel pump?
There's probably something there that will solve all of our TDI troubles. Alas we are doomed to remain at 394 for eternity!Is everyone stuck at page 394 of this post?
No matter what I do, I can't get past this page. It shows that there are pages 395 and 396.
Very odd...
