I also frequent the Diesel Place for my Duramax Chevy. There has been some discussion about bio on that site and some have complained that it clogs filters in cold weather, leaving a waxy substance in the filters.
You had better hope that the dealer did not damage or plug the drain lines for the top while they were in there....I had a rattle in my sunroof, I found it and fixed it myself.....I learned a long time ago not to let dealers "adjust" things, usually makes things worse...Good luck..
Mine has the old style , the drain runs to the bottom, where water settles, easy way to keep water out and to check it once in awhile.
That way if the HPFP craps out, dealer can't say it was contaminated fuel...
I picked up a brake bleeder kit from harbor freight today, on sale for $17 and change. Had to use a small piece of larger fuel line to fit on the filter though but with accessories with the bleeder, all fit nicely. Took about 6 pumps and drained 3-4 oz from filter.....took only a few...
Checked mine today, I got a new #2 line..Ironically a few days before I got the recall letter I checked the vin# on the VOA site and did not get a hit??
I have to admit, the pump failures have made me nervous too. Unless VOA comes up with some decent fix, I might get rid of mine before it hits the end of the warranty...trouble is the wife loves the car. The other day while waiting for the recall fix at the dealer, I was looking at a 2012...
I had mine in the other day for the recall, haven't looked under the hood yet but tech report just said inspected lines and installed dampers. I guess if the tech doesn't see the scratches on the #2 line they don't replace it...they also did a re-flash while there.
Does it sound like the blower fan or the ac unit......either way I'd let the dealer take care of it.....but I had an Accura once that made a really weird sound when the fan was on, took it to the dealer, they looked up under and found a leaf in the squirrel cage, told me it would be big $$ to...
I know there is a slight lag in the DSG on rolling starts but I did not see where anyone mentioned that if the brake is on for a few seconds, the fuel pressure is cut to prevent runaway. This could be adding to the problem...just a thought.
5000 miles and the clutch burned out?? It takes a lot more than slipping the clutch a couple of times to burn out a decent clutch. Sounds like the hydraulics failed and caused the rest of the damage, the clutch plate is probably soaked with fluid.
Was there any fluid in the brake master cylinder?
I know its been discussed but can't find it anywhere....In looking in my warranty manual it mentioned 5/60 for engine but does not mention the fuel pump or injectors , is it only covered for the 3/36?
