| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OTHER FUEL TYPES:TURBO-CHARGER | TURBO FAILED ON MY 2004 GOLF TDI (100HP) TWO MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS WAS UNUSUAL, BUT HAD TO SEND TO GERMANY FOR A REPLACEMENT TURBO UNIT. THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PEP SINCE THE NEW TURBO UNIT WAS INSTALLED. I HAVE HEARD OF ONE OTHER CASE WHERE THE TURBO FAILED AS WELL. I SUSPECT MY TURBO UNIT HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER WITH THE ONE FOR THE 90HP GOLF TDI. HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF I HAVE THE CORRECT PART INSTALLED? *JB |
| 2010 | FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL | 2010 VW GOLF TDI LOSS OF POWER AND SUBSEQUENT ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AT 17500 MILES AND THEN AGAIN AT 18,800 MILES. THE VW DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP UNDER WARRANTY AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT. I UNDERSTAND VW IS HAVING 2009-2010 HPFP PROBLEMS AND IS CLAIMING THAT 90% OF THE FAILURES ARE DUE TO FUEL CONTAMINATION. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DIESEL CARS FOR 10 YEARS NOW AND I'M THE SOLE DRIVER OF THIS CAR. THERE WAS NO FUEL CONTAMINATION IN THIS CASE. *TR |
