You guys are scaring me! I just last Saturday picked up my 2011 Sportwagon. Looks like I need to put a lubricating additive in NOW. I also have a 2007 Ford Superduty with the same kind of pump, these pumps give Ford a lot of trouble. I am in hopes that VW has found a cure with the 2011. In the meantime, I will drive it like I stole it.
