Fuel injector faild open and dumped fuel into the cylinder and it hydro locked. I was in motion and check engine flashing and engine running rough.

Dealer did not check warranty extension part cam follower which is known to fail (per cory from vwoa) but has another warranty extension part intake camshaft on repair list.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen Gti. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds she noticed loud noises coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised the contact that the vehicle was included in a manufacturer's recall for the cam follower in the fuel system. After having the repairs done they informed the contact that there were metal shavings from the recalled component that got into the motor and as a result it needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the recall repairs had been performed once before. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000 and the current mileage was approximately 71,000. The VIN was unavailable. Pmb.
