Ready to race!
As most of you know, the diesel in America does not provide the same lubrication to our HPFP as the diesel in Europe and other parts of the world. This is why some of the HPFP on the 2010 and a few of the 2011 mk6 tdi engines have suffered failure. VW has tried on occasion to deny warranty support on the premise that it was customer error by putting petrol/gas or filling up at places with bad diesel. A group of people have started a class action lawsuit against VW to start taking responsibility for the failures.
I just wanted to know some more info regarding this topic, and what if any additives are being used by other people. Also, i have been advised by my sales advisor to keep ALL fuel receipts !!!!! Supposedly, it was mostly the 2010 cats affected, but there are a couple of cases were 2011 cars were affected also.
The official percentage of cars affected though is only like 0.1percent, but based on how many cases I have been hearing about I think that number may be a bit higher.
