I loved the torque of the diesel but can't say I was that fond of the wagon. It went to a small family that could use it better than me and I still got 150k miles out of it. Between the clutch going early, sunroof drains leaking, intake valve, DPF problems, etc, I can't say I was happy with...

Agreed, that is a myth. Bosch actually to change the HPFP to try and make it last. There is a reason the warranty was extended to 120,00 miles. Because some of the earlier HPFP's had issues. Yours is in the earlier range and I would highly recommend a 2micron filter (If you don't have one) if...

Agreed, it would cost more than the car is worth to install a fix. Gen1 buybacks will go to the crusher. To the OP, as mentioned already, don't skimp on the maintenance. You are due for a timing belt now. As the saying goes, if you don't make time for maintenance, your equipment will make...

Bump.

Awesome, glad the DIY helped. Just a couple more days and I will be turning mine in as well.

2MicronTech billet aluminum contain kit. A must for those with a 2009-2012 2.0 TDI. The HPFP has been a known issue in these years of cars, hence the extended warranty to 120,000 miles. Installation of this kit will contain any metal particles in the high pressure section of the engine and not...
