Yesteday, the engine shut down after I got off freeway at offramp. As I came to a stop at the traffic light and engine stopped. Had a flashing "glow plug" icon on dash for less than a minute and little no acceleration before exiting freeway. Would not restart. Had to have car towed 50 miles to home. Today I find a dtc of p0087, fuel pressure too low. I unscrewed the screws holding the fuel filter assy top cover. Lifting the cover, I saw metal particles on top of the fuel filter. This always means the hi-pressure fuel pump has failed - forcing metal particles to the fuel tank, hi pressure fuel rail, fuel injectors, fuel filter and fuel lines.
While driving, a warning message briefly appeared stating engine management malfunction followed by a blinking heat coil light. The manual said to take to repair station as soon as possible, but within 1 mile the Jetta tdi lost power, my car almost stopping and eventually losing all power. Lukily I was not on the freeway where this would have been very dangerous, and I was able to pull to the side of a country road, calling for a tow truck. Analysis following instructions on a vw service bulletin shows the primary fuel pump that supplies the system failed and the vane pump released metal into the entire fuel system, getting past the filter (another defect?) and going all the way to the injectors. The entire system except the gas tank will need to be replaced. Vw says this $7000 repair is not under warranty. Vw should have recalled the faulty fuel pump and faulty filter that allowed the metal to continue into the entire system. I am being told that one dealership is handling 2-3 of these cases a week! I find on the internet that this has caused accidents.
I started my car and for the first time ever, it hesitated and failed to start. I restarted my car and it started. I proceeded to drive home and about a half mile into the drive it hesitated and lost much of its power. A flashing glow plug warning light came on and then a quick message on the display about an engine failure and bring to service. I was about a mile from my vw dealership and drove towards it. About a quarter of a mile later, the car (still hesitating - now I know it is called "limp mode") made a grinding noise from the passenger side of the engine bay, and the car lost all power and stopped in traffic. I had to have it towed to the dealership, where they diagnosed a high pressure fuel pump failure. The entire fuel system (fuel tank, 3 pumps, all fuel lines, common rail fuel delivery system, fuel filter holder, fuel filter, fuel injectors) were replaced under power train warranty. I am the only person to fill this car with diesel fuel and always do so at reputable stations. The fuel was tested and did not contain gasoline or any additives. This car was first purchased in north carolina and is a us vehicle. I bought it from the original owner (at 6200 miles) and drove it to canada. It is registered in ontario. I have had all service done in buffalo NY at northtown vw while under warranty and this repair was also performed (as per vw of America restrictions) in buffalo NY. I had to pay the expense of having it towed from toronto to buffalo.
