| 2010 | FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL | TRAVELING HOME ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON,,,,,CAR MADE FUNNY NOISE UP FRONT,,,,LOST ACCELERATION. PULLED OFF ONTO AN OFF RAMP,,,,OFF TO SIDE OF ROAD. .I TURNED VEHICLE OFF. WOULD NOT RESTART. CALLED TOW TRUCK TO BRING IT HOME. NEXT MORNING HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. TOLD IT WAS A "BAD DIESEL" PROBLEM....(I'D PURCHASED 1/2 TANK DIESEL FUEL 24 HRS PRIOR TO THIS AT STATION I'D NOT BEE TO BEFORE.) SUBSEQUENTLY THEY DRAIN TANK, REPLACED FUEL FILTER, STILL WOULDN'T TURN OVER. SAID THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS DESTROYED. GELLED UP STUFF IN FILTER,,,WHAT LOOK LIKE RUST FLAKES.... ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR INTO THOUSANDS.....CALLED INSURANCE CO. AND STARTED A CLAIM FOR LOSS.CALLED VW USA. TO REPORT THIS . LAST NITE GOT PHONE CALL FROM VW LADY SAYING THE WERE GOING TO REPLACE MY WHOLE FUEL SYSTEM AND THEY WOULD COVER COST ! GOOD FOR ME , BUT NOT SURE I WANT TO KEEP A CAR THAT IS SO TOUCHY ABOUT IT'S FUEL. DEALER SHIP CALLED TODAY TO SAY THE SAME ABOUT REPAIR....AND FELT IT WAS AN ACCUMULATION OF DAMAGE FROM WATER IN FUEL....
