103kW/125kw TDI PD Piezo Siemens injector failure thread

[jazd]

Affects ONLY the PD170 BMN engine in the VW range, but also the PD 3.0 TDI in Audi from what I am reading, plus potentially the same item used in some BMW and Merc cars 2006-2009.

Seems to be a lot more engines than the BMN, http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f28/...r-55060-2.html
Also you named the thread "103/125kW".. what am I missing here.. confused.

...what are you confused about? If, you have more informations, then share it with us, please. No need to get confused.

Mate when I started this thread I had no idea as to exactly what was affected, nor did anyone worldwide really, it's all been a recent awareness to the general public. Transporter feel free to ammend title to just 125kw PD170.

103kw injectors do fail as well, but rarely, and generally not due to design flaws like the 125kw ones.

GREAT to hear, good result. Still seems to be luck of the draw.

I have the revised loom coming from the UK thanks to my brother over there, and will fit it and do a writeup of the old loom and what I find. Hopefully it will keep my own injectors running a bit longer than they would have otherwise!

Hi Guys................just found this thread and looked up my vehicle data in the service schedule of my 2008 GTD and it states......GOLF 2,0 GT 125KW FTDI D6F. BMN- KMW LA7W-------- RT, so does that put mine on the danger list?

I think we leave the title as is, for now.

So it is only the BMN that has this issue? There seems to be a lot of Passats with the 125kW engine in that thread I posted that have failed injectors, but thats the BMR engine.

[Greg Roles]

All varients of the PD 125kw engine. For the Passat/Golf it would include the BMN/BMR. I only have all the documents for the Golf.

Fraid so double cab.

Probably the new Caddy 2.0TDI, too. From what my mate "in the know" reckons..

My engine code is BKP and I had two injectors fail and got all 4 replaced. See post #114 in this thread.
I've also put my details into the All PD Piezo Injector Failure Register on this forum.
Engine codes listed in the register so far are BMR, BMN, BKP, and quite a few unknowns.

... and some who complained, didn't bother to register, so there is few more that could be in that thread.
