And they are the ones building the trains for the CrossRail project instead of our local firm Bombardier...I hope no one who intends to use CrossRail wants to get to work on time!

Ok does anyone know the part number for the injectors? I'm gonna get mine fitted privately.

PM me the cars reg number.

**Crasher** · 20-12-2011,04:56 PM

03G 130 073 SX for the reconditioned exchange injectors at £143.79 inc VAT each which are what VW are fitting for the CAMPAIGN or 03G 130 073 S at £753.79 inc VAT each for new ones.

Had a call from VW UK today to confirm despatch of my cheque for £865

Thank you all for the info here.

Merry Christmas.

Mine failed again on the way to work this morning, I had 2 replaced october 2009 at a cost of approx £1500 to myself.
AA towed me to Pulman Volkswagen in Sunderland and got booked in for about 9:30am,
got a call from them just before 12:00am to tell me my car was ready to be collected, has had 4 replacement injectors and looms fitted free of charge, there was no ifs buts or whatever they just went ahead and done it.
Fantastic service Pulman Volkswagen, you have certainly renewed my faith in Volkswagen service!!!!!!!
Also I've taken the liberty to contact Volkswagen customer care who were also more than helpful as regards my previous charges and I'm confident I will be reimbursed for that as well.

I've got a 2008 Jetta with the 170 TDI PD engine and had my injectors replaced under the 23H9 recall. It had 60k on the clock when it was done and had no issues with the originals (maybe just lucky). A nice side effect with the new injectors seems to be a slight improvement in mpg figures. I'm seeing between 3 - 5mpg more than i did before. I only really use my car to travel to work and back. Just wondering if anybody else has seen a slight improvement? I guess they had to change the code on the ECU slightly for the new injector type. Can't beleive the injectors alone provide the improvement. All i can say is thank you VW!

I have a Passat in that I did four new ones on before the recall and he says it is smother and more economical. There are no ECU alterations during this recall.

I have kept carefull records of mpg since new. My injectors were all replaced on my 170 BMR engine as per the VW campaign. At that time the car had done only 20kmiles. The regular journeys all gave better mpg than I had ever had and was immediately noticeable. 6 months or so later that improvement has been maintained at 3-5mpg exactly as Manuter mentioned above. So whatever they are fitting, recon or not, they are better than the originals ever were. Perhaps if they are reconditioned ones as Crasher says then they have tweaked them in some way as part of that process. As far as being smoother is concerned, then yes it did feel smoother but that may just have been that the courtesy car was rough and being back in the Passat was better. So not sure on that one
