Hi,
Yesterday 13th December Father Christmas came to town!! I got a recall letter from VW UK offering FREE inspection and FREE replacement of the sodding 2.0 TDi Piezo Injectors.

To cut a long story short - as I have just replied to the 'possible recall' thread - I had 1 fail August 2010, another October 2010 and paid for both as poxy VW didn't want to know and only offered part payment - still way more expensive than using VW specialist I got to do them.
Then I had the 'ticking time bomb' of do I get the other 2 done or get shot of the car??
Not a lot about I wanted, and I love the car, so had other 2 done as well. Total incl vat £2361.40!! 4x injectors, injector loom/rail, bolts and stretch bolts for 3 times mechanic had to go in there.

I rang VW and roasted into them - as long as you have receipts, part numbers used (your mechanic should be ale to give you these - mine did including invoices from VW for parts including dates of purchase) and your V5 to prove car is yours - they want copies of all this - they will offer reimbursement, full I hope!! (and expect to be fair)

Just ring them, explain you had them done at you own cost, they will give you a reference number to quote, send them your receipts etc and hopefully there will be a happy end to this shameful saga.
