Description of the problem | I was trying along at 50 mph and the globe diesel light came on and the engine light came an. I kept trying to drive it to get to a safe place to leave my vehicle to get it towed. Vw could not determine if was fuel contamination or faulty fuel pump. I couldn't move the car when i got to a stop. If this is a known issue to the vw company why are they trying to blame the consumers that i put the wrong fuel in my vehicle. Vw installed the fuel guard which was a recall, and covered the rest of the parts but now i am left with a year old car that i hope has no longer further issues due to vw not recalling and fixing an issue with the fuel pump. |
