Thanks for the replies. I'll check out car-part.com and if nothing comes up in the near future, I'll move on the auto body work.

Not really a Passat specific question, but I never had to deal with this before. DW comes home to tell me that someone backed into her 2012 TDI SEL while she was waiting to pull into a parking spot. It dented the driver's front fender (and amazingly that was it). Auto body shop quoted $600 to...

I feel kinda stupid for thinking it was the HPFP now and for sending it to the dealer instead of just reaching under and pushing the line back in place. I think this place has made me a little anxious about that pump. I did send a note to the mod about changing the title.

I think my wife attracts fuel issues. Early in the life of her previous car (my current car), she filled up at a gas station and unknowingly pumped 15 gallons of water into her tank. The dealer sent me a picture. The line is located by the rear wheel, passenger side. It appears to be a green...

Just heard from the dealer. It's not the pump. A fuel line fitting apparently came undone. They reconnected it and the car works fine now, though they want to take it on a few test drives to see if there is any movement. I am waiting for a picture of the fitting to understand where it actually...

There was nothing obvious from a quick survey from topside. It was raining (of course) so I didn't want to go digging around. Dunno if I feel better about it being the HPFP or some other fuel element blowing out. The devil you know... I'll post when I get more information, which probably won't...

UPDATE: The source of the problem was a fuel line that worked its way loose. The line is near the rear passenger tire. ORIGINAL: 2012 TDI SEL, ~22400 miles, 45 fill-ups I got a call from the misses a few minutes after she left for work this morning. She was approaching a stop sign when the glow...

Check your PM ... I'm about 35 min from you and have a cable.

Actually, you pump your own diesel in Jersey.

I just drove 12 hours (2 days x 6 hours) through 95-100+ deg, full sun with two kids (5 and 7) in the back. At no point did the kids complain that it was "too hot". In fact, a few times they told me they were "too cold". The AC settings were 68/72 with recirc on, fan was 2 or 3 clicks from...

Yes, the TDI SEL has it. Now if we could only disable the auto-shut off when unlocking/entering the car. I don't really understand the point to shutting off a remote started car when it is unlocked/entered.
