Injector Failures - Possible recall

**leespot** · 05-07-2012,02:39 PM

Hi All,

I've just bought a 2005/55 Passat TDI Sport and will be booking it in next week for the injectors to be checked (called VW and they said just bring it in). Couple of questions before I do though...

1) For those of you who've had problems after the change, how have VW been with regards to supplying courtesy cars etc?
2) Did VW arrange the collection and transportation of the cars that had problems after the change? Or did you have to use your own recovery?
3) Has anyone had to pay for anything that went wrong after the injectors were changed or did VW make repairs out of goodwill?

Thanks in advance for any replies - hope I haven't broken any rules about thread revival!

Just had mine done today, I'm the 3rd owner. 2007 car with 145k on clock with a full non vw service record.

Good service !

got mine booked in for Monday. VW sent me a letter to bring it in. not really sure how they got my address. so hopefully by Monday evening mine will be running nice.

Trying to get a courtesy car for the day they never offered one. all they offered was to drop me in to Belfast city center which is maybe a 20 min walk. which is no good to me as i live a half hours drive away.

Perhaps another VW garage will lend you a car. Doesnt have to be the garage they may have written on the letter to you. Then tell the current VW garage you will have to go elsewhere lest they provide a car. Just a thought.

hi guys, just a quick question. i know the answer is somewhere within the 63 pages of this thread but i wonder if someone could help me in posting which are the engines that are causing the injectors to fail? i'm currently driving an a6 2.0 tdi 140 bhp 06reg and my missus is driving a passat 1.9 tdi 105 bhp 55reg. as far as i know the previous owners haven't had this change, so i could use the confirmation whether i should phone them or not. it's just that i want to know what i'm talking about when i'll phone the rather than to sound insecure and them to send me chasing wild gooses. much appreciated.
