Yep 18" and again it was a perfect storm of things that the car primarily ate then on the rear inside 1/3 of tread pattern. Could be as much manufacturing as road conditions as multiple bad alignments which DO happen. Again my HPFP was warrantied by vw even with 86k. Pays to be nice and...

Wasn't abuse was a lot of highway mileage. Bat outta hell means in "Texan" is a figure of speech for ran like a champ in all conditions. The tires are associated to high mileage, some part to bad roads, and lost 2 tires to what turned out to be a bad rim. But the alignment is very sensitive...

As another poster said thank you for the good info and support here. I officially parted ways with my 2010 sportwagen today. It was a fun 2 and a half year journey that brought joys and heartache. 142000 miles, 5 sets of tires, and the HPFP failure at 86000 miles I am signing off. Car served...

I need 1 rim as described in title. I have a crack in one that has resulted in a slow leak. If you have 1 or even 2 laying around I will consider buying 1 or both from you. For a 2010 sportwagen

Just got a call from the dealer my car is ready a week ahead of schedule. They said parts came in quicker than expected. I will have a trashed trove of documentation for you guys here shortly.

I had the original as you suspected correctly. This is the reason this is the only service I did not do myself I still let the dealers service my fuel filters which in my situation paid off.

If there is any comfort I can offer to your worries I had my car towed to the absolute worst dealer as far as service and customer service goes in Houston. Google reviews on momentum vw jersey village and read the reviews for yourself. They have been very nice, helpful and understanding...

I will check on techs credentials and such when I get my car back. Last thing I want to do in current time is ask too many questions and or be critical of the failure when vw is paying 100% for the repair and changing the timing belt for free in a car that has absolutely no warranty. When I...

My work commute alone is 196 miles driveway to driveway roundtrip. Not sales job. I do this to have 55 acres and make a good paycheck while my wife attended veterinary school at TAMU. We are actually in the process of buying a house in a Houston suburb so I can have less commute. She graduate...

I plan on doing so once the work is completed.

I bought it December 7 2009. I do not know the build date off the top of my head.

I just found out I am victim to a HPFP. See my thread "flashing glow plug..." for some preliminary details. I will post tech data and info/ pics here

It was mentioned between the service manager and myself conversation that VofA is also trying to pin point these failures to heat or fuel temperature. We have been over triple digits here for a couple weeks now and fuel in pumps and in the tank of the cars just gets hotter. Nothing definitive...

I used power service. Not as religious as some on this board but enough for me to answer with a confident yes. Fuel samples came back as I had "good diesel" no signs of water or gas in the system. I had just filled up the car from just under a half a tank to full at a high volume station...

No extended warrantee.

Will do I will look into reporting this as soon as possible. Very bittersweet day I maybe got a combined hours sleep last night worrying what was wrong. Oh dealer said this was the 2nd one they've had and their other locations in Houston have had about a couple failures each too.

Well update is bad news for the TDI world but vw is making it right. Let me say this first to give it away, they shined a flash light into the fuel pump and filter housings and it looke like a glitter delivery from fedex got lost in there, so much metal. I got my share of the HPFP failure...

Well after 86844 trouble free miles lovin life miles in the JSW she abandoned me on the side of a rural HWY yesterday. Cruising along after work, made it through the rush hour traffic of Houston on my way home (100 miles), when I was about 25 miles NW of Houston.... Car had been running great...

Yeah that's exactly where it is. Is there a filter in there? Also on the topic of filters anyone know the correct part number for 2010 jsw fuel filter the dealer parts counter has given me 2 "wrong" ones which assures me why I'm not letting the dealer touch my car.

What is the filter housing under the car for? I apologize now if it has already been discussed but I have my car in pieces in the driveway and need an answer on the quick. It is under the engine between the front lower grill.
