| 2009 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I STARTED MY CAR AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, IT HESITATED AND FAILED TO START. I RESTARTED MY CAR AND IT STARTED. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE HOME AND ABOUT A HALF MILE INTO THE DRIVE IT HESITATED AND LOST MUCH OF ITS POWER. A FLASHING GLOW PLUG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN A QUICK MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY ABOUT AN ENGINE FAILURE AND BRING TO SERVICE. I WAS ABOUT A MILE FROM MY VW DEALERSHIP AND DROVE TOWARDS IT. ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILE LATER, THE CAR (STILL HESITATING - NOW I KNOW IT IS CALLED "LIMP MODE") MADE A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE BAY, AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE. THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM (FUEL TANK, 3 PUMPS, ALL FUEL LINES, COMMON RAIL FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM, FUEL FILTER HOLDER, FUEL FILTER, FUEL INJECTORS) WERE REPLACED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I AM THE ONLY PERSON TO FILL THIS CAR WITH DIESEL FUEL AND ALWAYS DO SO AT REPUTABLE STATIONS. THE FUEL WAS TESTED AND DID NOT CONTAIN GASOLINE OR ANY ADDITIVES. THIS CAR WAS FIRST PURCHASED IN NORTH CAROLINA AND IS A US VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER (AT 6200 MILES) AND DROVE IT TO CANADA. IT IS REGISTERED IN ONTARIO. I HAVE HAD ALL SERVICE DONE IN BUFFALO NY AT NORTHTOWN VW WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND THIS REPAIR WAS ALSO PERFORMED (AS PER VW OF AMERICA RESTRICTIONS) IN BUFFALO NY. I HAD TO PAY THE EXPENSE OF HAVING IT TOWED FROM TORONTO TO BUFFALO. *TR |
