Two problems related to fuel hoses lines/piping and fittings have been reported for the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta based on all problems reported for the 2009 Jetta.
The vehicle would not start. Dealer found failure of high pressure fuel pump and metal fragments suffused throughout the fuel injection system (fuel lines, tank, etc. ).
Car would not start. Luckily parked in garage. Towed to dealer. Determined to be hpfp failure and dpf failure. Hpfp and dpf replaced along with associated small parts. But did not replace entire fuel system. A fuel sample taken from the fuel return hose when the car died looks like fine metallic particles. Settled to the bottom of the jar after several days. A magnet did not attract the particles so must have been aluminum - most likely from the piston bore of the hpfp. Vw paid for the repair. The day I got the car back I took a fuel sample from the fuel tank. Once again metal particles (along with other debris normally found in a fuel tank) were found. Now we are fearful of driving the car due to metal particles in the fuel system will destroy the new hpfp. Please make vw do a recall and replace the pump with a new design that will not self destruct! a car that should go 200k miles or more has failed at 67k miles. And is guaranteed to fail again due to the poor design of the hpfp. This is a huge financial hit for our family as now we are fearful of driving the car and may have to sell it to get a more reliable car. Vw is blaming the problems on fuel contamination and that may be true but there is no excuse for a huge repair bill from one tank of fuel that is not up to specs.
