Joining the queue of Passat owners with injector problems (TDI wagon carked it)

[mebius9]

My warranty just ran out yesterday and I bought extended warranty from 3rd party for the fear of DSG and Injector failure... hopefully Swann insurance will cover the Injectors...

See the failure thread updates in the diesel section. The injector problem is VERY widespread. Sucks.

Ok, GREAT SERVICE from Solitaire VW Adelaide. All injectors and new loom done on 2008 TD 125KW wagon, yesterday - car home again (car flat bedded to them Monday). VW Australia approved DESPITE car being out of warranty (expired Jan 2011) , we are NOT original owners and last service (45,000km) was NOT done at VW.

We have bought cars from Solitaire (Landrover) before and sericed them there so they know us - but we are rapt with this result - all done within 3 days!!!!!!!

my 08 passat tdi died last week,one month out of warranty. i get it serviced by an independent, but vwa came to the party with 4injectors ,wiring loom etc. vw dealer was quoting $6000 i dodged a bullet, looking into extended warranty.

What's your mileage? I heard people were saying around 30,000km. Mine is doing 24,000km. I had the same 08 TDI (out of warranty last month as well) but I took the extended warranty days before it expires just because of scary stories like this. Costing me $2110.

70000 kilometers

Join the facebook page for the latest updates from around the world. Customers in the UK are being contacted and all injectors and loom replaced, plus reimbursement of prior injector failure costs. Wonder if that will ever happen here, but is set to spread through Europe in coming months hopefully.

Wife's 2007 103kw passat died on saturday, towed to epping volkswagen, they rang monday morning to say 1 injector was a dud & needed replacing. we had extended warranty so the cost was not an issue, we wanted all 4 injectors replaced as the dealer said if 1 goes it is just a matter of time before others may go. we asked him to see what they could do, he rang the next day to say he spoke to volkswagen & said they would cover the job of 4 injectors under the new car warranty, & that in future all b6 passats would have 4 injectors done this way with no cost to owners

Good to hear, but you have to question WHY a worldwide fault, currently being actively sorted out in the UK, requires you to have a failure before you have any chance of it being looked at. VAG knows all too well there is a problem, yet they leave their customers out there driving around in timebombs. Not good enough VW, no wonder your reputation is slipping.

Has anybody else had ongoing problems after the install of the new injectors. My injectors, wiring loom, computer was replaced and i have had nothing but problems since, Looks like they are going to change the gearbox mechatronic unit out and i have just got home now after sitting in a car park for half an hour trying to get the handbrake off what next is the question thank good that it is still in warranty Just can you get an extended extended warranty????
