 Description of the problemHigh pressure fuel pump failure at 104k miles on 2012 vw jetta tdi a fuel line was leaking, which as stated by the service manager at serra vw, appeared to be a manufacturer defect.

Fuel filter was replaced, the car tested again, and again it would not crank. That is when the high pressure fuel pump was going to be replaced. Serra vw placed a warranty claim, which was declined, with the blame placed on the leak in the fuel line. The fuel pump is covered under the extended emissions system warranty as a result of the emissions recall due to unethical modifications of the company.

They relied on the word of the service manager, that stated a manufacturer defect causing the fuel line to leak was the cause for the fuel pump failure. At no point was there ever any indication of stalls, lack of power, or reduced power or
