| Diesel Fuel System problems |
I have a 2002 Jetta GLS tdi. I am constantly replacing glow plugs. Have a coolant temp code reading for quite some time and also fuel injection pump, which is probably what is causing glow plugs to go bad.
2002 Jetta tdi wagon; I have had 6 glow plugs replaced then told that the check engine light was for a bad glow plug harness. Dealer in buffalo told me that the oem harness was made from inferior materials and many fail, but no recall has been issued; now faced with $150 parts and labor to replace this defective harness.
I own a 2002 vw Jetta tdi (diesel). At 49,500 miles, the engine stopped running. The problem was a clogged fuel intake system. The car is still under warranty. I was told that the warranty does not cover this problem, as it is a maintenance issue. I called the vw headquarters, and they explained that this problem should not occur if scheduled maintenance was performed. I have done all of the scheduled maintenance, at a great expense. Finally, vw has agreed to pay half of the $520. 00 bill to clean the fuel intake. After doing web research, this seems to be a problem facing many vw tdi owners. Because vw told me this problem should not occur with routine maintenance, I believe that vw is not honoring the warranty by paying the entire expense.
