so it seems if we've registered with the VW court settlement website, we're already entered into this as well?

haha you went through all that effort and gave them a half tank of diesel !

Hhahahah have fun with that

nope.....

So who's got a good write up on how to remove this filler module, I'd love to have it installed, remove it myself, keep it in the car, and put it back in if my HPFP ****s the bed. Thoughts?

that looks ok to me, i think the HPFP produces more silver metallic bits, this may be from bad fuel

I may have the guard installed then remove it myself, and keep it in the car to reinstall it if my HPFP ****s the bed. Now I just need to research how to uninstall it and hopefully it's not a destructive process

not needed, most dealers don't even do it

eh don't wory about it man, nobody has blown an engine yet here on this forum as far as i know I think if you were burning a lot of oil you'd have DPF issues, and... HPFP failure isn't going to be detected through engine oil analysis

^^ True, just had this myself P13D4 for the no.3 GP, IIRC

Not to jinx myself here, but after driving from DE to OK in 3 days (1,500 miles) it is running and starting completely normal, maybe it was loaded up with carbon and soot, or bad fuel in DE fingers crossed, will keep you guys posted...

I'm about to drive mine about 1,500 miles this weekend, so hopefully I'll know more regarding if fuel affects it etc... and hopefully it dosen't quit on me and leave me stranded!

mine did this today, entered a regen, as i slowed to enter the gate to my work the needle was 'searching' between 800 - 1,000 for it's stable regen RPM, then as i came to a stop it completely stalled out on me, started back up and the regen RPM was stable but the idle felt rough Parked my car...

hmm so it's done that since the line was replaced? mine just stumbles between 800-1,000 for a few seconds (needle moving up and down) then stabilizes at 800, haven't had any prolonged cranking starts yet... just frustrating still, after 200 bucks in parts, no improvement gotta live with it i...

thecause; how is your car doing?

and after about 2 days of starting better than normal, the old problem is back glow plug replaced also that was throwing a pressure sensor fault, this had no affect on this issue either... frustrated

34,000 here car runs the same after the swap... annoying to spend 100 bucks to turn off a light essentially

Also, the GP I got from the dealer says Borg Warner on it where the OEM one I pulled said BERU, after a bit of research I discovered that Borg Warner now owns BERU and apparently started putting their name on the part this was the 'G' part number.

just replaced my glow plug, took 10 min, i found values of 20 NM for breaking (loosening) tq and 12 NM for tightening. The harness that connects to the plug connector can be somewhat un clipped from the tray it sits in to give you more room to pull it off the glow plug without putting too much...

well the fuel return line is certainly the fix, started my car this morn ~51 degrees, it had been sitting for about a day and it started great, no bumps or stutter, settled down at 1,000 then slowly went to 800. Great success so far!
