Well I guess it was a matter of time (according to the naysayers) before my 118TSI Jetta went back to the dealer on a flatbed.
Error codes report low fuel pressure, driving experience was it was running out of fuel (full tank), and when roadside assist cleared the codes they returned immediately.
The dealer thinks either blocked fuel filter or malfunctioning high pressure pump but as it happened once before and they have come across a pump failure before they are leaning towards the pump. Of course, when the dealer started it, it was fine.
I must admit the dealer (Duttons Mt Barker) and the roadside assist technicians and tow truck driver have all been outstanding. And, given the problem has been reported for the 118TSI but doesn't seem endemic I'm prepared to shrug my shoulders and say 'one of those things'.
