Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen

The vehicle has a hard time on startup when stationary (when the temperature fluctuates from freezing to thawing), sometimes taking three to four times for it to crank over. Once it cranks over it will vibrate and shake like it is going to stall. It will also shake and act like it's going to stall after in motion for the first minute. Took to the dealership, said it was an old battery. Replaced battery, the issue is intermittent (again when the temperature fluctuates). Read online that it could be a tdi intercooler design flaw. The dealership will not cover unless they experience the problem. This issue says it can cause engine failure. Looking to take it to an independent vw tdi shop to see if they can diagnose the problem and get a second opinion. Hopefully, this doesn't have anything to do with the fuel pump.

While driving home, the car stalled with no warning and would not restart although starter etc were working fine. After getting it towed to the dealership, they reported that the fuel pump had failed leaving metal through out my fuel system, a problem they've seen with this make and model in the past. After contacting the manufacturer, they said it was a known issue, but not common enough to warrant a recall and would not cover the cost of repair which was over $5000, more than the current value of the car in good condition.

While driving the vehicle was low on power and the glow plug light was flashing. This was the second time that this exact thing happened. The first time I turned the car off and let it set for a few minutes and it restarted and ran fine. We were on the highway and had to make our way through traffic to the side of the road, luckily it was not busy. On July 31 the same thing happened but this time the car was stopped in the middle of an intersection coming off of the highway. This time the car would not restart and the check engine light along with the glow plug light were on. Once we had the vehicle towed to the dealership they proceeded to inform me that the high pressure fuel pump had failed and the entire fuel system minus the tank had to be replaced due to metal shavings being in the fuel system. The only good thing about this issue was that none of my children were in the car when this happened as the car stopped in the middle of an intersection.
