Funny, I searched this forum, and there are 11 pages of threads with HPFP. All that from 1 failure? Maybe if I provide links to 2 failures, I won't have to argue on the internet? Nah, won't waste my time.

Try to find out if the 40k service was done. If not, do it ASAP. Pay attention to the fuel filter for water and any metal. The HPFP is an issue on these cars. If the previous owner neglected the car, ran cheap diesel, let is sit, I'd run an injector/fuel/tank cleaner additive and consider changing the filter a second time after.

If you want a set of VW rims, look up aaaautoparts on eBay. I picked up a mint 17" to replace a rim I curbed (now my full sized spare). $160 shipped.

That's true , but if you look above to what people have been paying recently based off of this threads conversation, they've been paying TOO much for what they are currently worth at the moment. That's why i chose to throw out that price , considering the vehicle is still under warranty.

Funny, your search results are all for Golfs and Jettas. I have come across maybe a half dozen Passat HPFP failures here on TDIClub, and that's a high estimate on my part.
Passats do not suffer from HPFP problems in the same way that the other commonrail TDIs do. Please don't spread FUD.

according to the carfax, it was serviced at 10, 20, 30 and 40k miles. from the dealer it was bought from. good enough or should I call them?
oh. Ares, how do you like the frostheater on your car and did you install it? how did that go? I have it on my 97 and love it on cold mornings. thanks, rune
