Description of the problem | While driving on the interstate at 70 mph in the middle lane of three lanes at approximately 10:00 pm through light rain the glow plug indicator on the dash began to flash. Then the engine lost power. I pulled to the emergency lane where the car lost all engine power and would not restart. This all occurred within 20-25 seconds and we were lucky to be able to make it to emergency lane. We have since had the vehicle towed to a vw dealer where they replaced the entire fuel system which was under warranty. After researching this high pressure fuel pump problem most fellow vw owner recommended that i file a complaint. |
