There is so much absolute BS about the HPFP on this forum to border on insane. Do they happen? Sure they do.Has there been any 2013 Jettas that have failed in decent quantities? I am on the edge about trading in my 2012 Impreza for a 2013 Jetta TDI (I have a thread in the Jetta section). Seeing all these failures makes me nervous. The design for the 2013 is the same, so I would assume that the failure would continue to exist? Looks like the general consensus is to stay away from the Jetta TDI!
But keep in mind that in almost every test of a TDI against any other model of VW the TDI wins hands down. I've yet to find a single magazine tester raise the issue of HPFP failures both here and overseas. Remember you have a very closed audience here. The NHTSA is investigating the HPFP issue. Been going on for well over a year while almost every other investigation has come and gone. They still have not issued a ruling and the longer it goes I believe the whole mess will be set aside and the world will move on.
Those who have had a failure in the past few months have had they car repaired free of charge (according to my dealer) with some of them having close to 100,000 miles.
Lots of opinions here with damn few facts.
Like the car? Buy it. I've never been happier with my TDI. I have a 2006 Lexus IS250 and it sits in the garage having only 33,000 miles while my 2010 TDI just whizzed past 40,000 miles last week. You do the math.
Seasons' greetings to all.
