Description of the problem | 2012 vw jetta tdi sportwagon 10408 miles. Flashing glow plug light, and car would not go over 40 mph. Dealer replaced the fuel pressure gauge. Day after repair both the glow plug light and check engine light came on, would not go over 40 mph. Dealer then replaced the hpfpump per vw tech recommendations. Fuel (diesel) was checked on both repairs and not found to be faulty. A known issue with this car, though supposedly "fixed". My concerns are for additional failure, potentially leaving us stranded or on a freeway going 40mph. |
