Hey Guys, I have a 2010 sport wagon w/ 61K on her presently. This is my third VW and second TDI. Having my second issue this year. These cars always seem to fall apart after 50k for me and I am a maintenance freak so it is upsetting. AC compressor went at 55K, no warranty. I told them I smelled coolant, they say no issue. Now at 61K I have a leak bottom of radiator where fan shroud rubs on fins. An obvious design flaw. Came here to see and found others have had the same issue. I am scheduled to do a DSG service this week. 400 dollars. But as i have been reading since here I am quite concerned I have been dodging a bullet w/ the HPFP issue. I just changed my filter tonight and had some sandy stuff on the bottom but no metal. Cleaned it out and replaced the filter.
I have changed my oil every 5k instead of 10K as recommended because I intended to go the long haul w/ this car. Fuel filter every 15K.
But as stated every VW starts giving up on me after 50K???
Most of what I read on the HPFP failures was most failed under 25K some around 50K and few over that.
But a 7-10k fix is out of the question for me out of pocket. This risk has me quite concerned at this point.
I'm at 61K contemplating trading over this. How much is the new design HPFP? Maybe replacing prior to disaster would be an option.??
Love the car and torque but already two issues this year and worried. No warranty.
Intended to keep for 10years but that doesn't sound possible without a 7k fix in that time. I'd rather add that to my trade!
What are the VW gurus thinking on this????
Thanks for your insight or opinions.
