Description of the problem	My car has aprox 39k miles. Hearing a metallic grinding sound in my engine while driving. Took it to a vw dealer. They told me it's a high pressure fuel pump failure and that not to drive it as is. 1 week later, picked up my "repaired" car to only have a howling sound coming from engine within 1 hour of picking it up. Brought the car back next day and was told it's the auxillary fuel pump failing. That was replaced. Picked up my car yesterday and today i have a high pitched howling sound again from the same part of my engine. Returning the car again to vw tomorrow. I am afraid to drive my car. Apparently this a common problem with vw tdi high pressure fuel pumps. Car can die on me any time. So far repairs covered under power train warranty. This is looking like a lemon to me.
