Sorry for the long post, but here goes: I have a 2011 Jetta TDI that I've had nothing but trouble with. It ran great for the first 60k, then left me stranded on a road trip, flashing glow plug light and stalling out. Long story short, HPFP failure, replaced by the local dealership covered by VWOA. I picked up the car a week later, drove it 3 hours home and drove it for 3 days before the same thing happened again. Towed it to my dealership, replaced entire fuel system again, my dealership blamed the other one saying they didn't remove all the contaminants causing another HPFP failure and promised it was 100% again. I drove it for another 2 weeks before it occurred again. This time they blamed it on a retention valve improperly installed, fixed it and promised me it was 100% again, again. I drove it for another 5k miles, 2 months with no issues until this week. The battery has been getting weaker and after listening to my radio for 20 minutes yesterday, I had to jump start it. It fired right up, but the power sunroof wouldn't open, and the automatic window down and up thing didn't work. They would roll up and down, but just not with one click, I had to hold the button down. I made it about 2 miles down the road when the glow plug light started flashing, followed by limp mode. I rerouted towards my dealership, made it another 2 miles before it completely stalled out. I had it towed, but my dealership won't be open until tomorrow. Does anybody have any ideas about this? Is all this still related to the fuel system issue or something else entirely?
