Equipment problem #1

My 2010 vw Touareg tdi 3. 0 have 2 service campaign 23r3 and 26k2 which is commonly known for vw tdi diesel scandal. I took my car to vw they said they will replace the catalytic converts and knox sensors. And the ad blue box. Today I got a call stating that my car will not get a catalytic converter that's epa compliant. And they can only do computer software and replce 2 glow plugs out of the 6 and that's cant be done before I replace a knox sensor which is the service campaign is for then when the check engine light is off I can take it back to vvw to replace the parts and program the computer. Or pay then $900 for that sensor.

Equipment problem #2

Takata recall for airbag dash light on. Also, check 'engine light' for diesel def heating element fault. Both lights appeared when starting the vehicle/stationary and have remained on ever since.

Equipment problem #3

The vehicle was stationary and had been parked all day (8+ hours). Upon trying to start it would not turn over and then backfired and the intake manifold exploded. The car smoked.

High pressure fuel pump ("hpfp") failure resulted in an engine stall incident, at highway speeds in traffic with no restart, contributing to an accident.
