Passat 125TDI Please Help!

Perhaps all of those who have suffered injector failures should list up in Greg's thread in the Diesel section with the date/mileage of the failure (double list for reoccurance) + action taken.

And a thread suggesting likewise be created in the Golf/Jetta MkV forum

Then a definitive list can be more easily compiled.

I agree with you kaange...

Thankfully I have a Common Rail Diesel (CR)...Engine Code CBBB.

Maybe to save any future confusion with people viewing these pages for the first time; anyone with problem engines could possibly add the Engine Code and the fact that it is a Pump Duse Diesel (PD) engine.

Possible PD Engine Codes include the following;
- 103kw (Golf, Jetta, Passat) (BKP, BMA, BMP)
- 125kw (Golf GT, Passat) (BMR, BUZ, BWV) and obviously other vehicles in the VAG range.

If any of the above info is incorrect, please amend as required.

I truly hope all affected get rectified ASAP!!!

Just to relax many Golf and Passat owners, it is only Piezo PD injector made by Siemens, so not every 103TDI Golf and Passat. Easiest way to check if you have Piezo PD injectors or electromechanical PD injector is to check the brochure that you got from the dealer before you bought a car. On one of the back pages where engine data are listed you could read Piezo PD injection or PD injection or Common Rail injection.

Ok ... So my just ordered CC ... The specs page says

Fuel System - Bosch EDC 17 with common rail injection

Does that mean mine will be ok ?

Useful info to know, puts it in perspective now.
Thanks Transporter.

Great, another wonderful Siemens product....I work for these guys (in their Healthcare division)!

Bosch is a Siemens Group company, but then so is many German industrials!

Same problem as everyone on this forum.

We had just filled the tank with Coles/Shell Diesel. I haven't asked the previous owner what fuel he had used, but I did wonder if the crap I bought from Coles was the cause of all of the problems.

Has anyone else had this happen after filling up with Coles/Shell Diesel?

I worked for Shell in a previous life, and they provide an excellent product. Don't blame the fuel, I think we all know this is a fault with the injectors/wiring.
