| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2004 volkswagen passat 2.0l tdi diesel car. the high pressure fuel pump started leaking diesel fuel all over the engine compartment. i checked on-line to determine if there was a recall on this problem. after checking on-line i learned that there was in fact a recall for this problem. i contacted both volkswagen of america and a local dealer. both indicated that there was a recall, but that the vin number on my car was not included in this recall. i had to have the pump replaced at a cost of $750.00. i believe that the problem incurred is the same problem from the recall and that the defective part includes more than just the vin number vehicles that volkswagen admits. when i had the high pressure fuel pump replaced, i advised that i wanted to old pump. i have the old pump in my possession. i am concerned that there may be more vehicles than indicated in the recall that may have the same problem and the possible fire problems that could be caused. i believe that this repair should have been covered by volkswagon. *nm |
