Description of the problem | Vw jetta tdi rear tank pump has no filter sock and fuel starved to high pressure aluminum pump without high pressure filter or manifold. No sign of metal shavings! Cost of repair 10000. 00 i phoned vw america as car was in warranty and they emailed back and said they would contact me and this did not happen. I had to pay the bill but my insurance covered me for most cost. Lost 4 days of work and had to rent a car. This car is unsafe and i feel terrible saying this as i am a diesel lover.
