| I'm was driving up hills with 38 mph notice that glow plug light flashing the car lost all power almost instantly. fortunately i was able to managed the car to emergency lane. lucky that i'm not on the freeway and i didn't have my 6 years old son with me at that time. this is a safety issue that we need to address to vwgoa so they can do a recall. you can find 100 or more same failures at www.tdiclub.com, some of the member had to replaced the hpfp twice. dealer found hpfp failures. metal found in the fuel pump due to hpfp self-destruction. repaired and paid for by vw. replaced the whole fuel system, tank, 3 fuel pumps, all lines and hoses. | |||
