Keeping your CRD HPFP alive

[Diesel_vert]

I think purchasing an extended warranty (with an approriate level of cover) would be more beneficial and cost effective.

Better yet, absolve yourself of the problem by selling the car before the factory or extended warranty expires.

Better yet, don't even buy a VW until they sort out this mess.

CR has been around for yonks - they have no excuse for getting it so wrong.

Seems I am the most paranoid or pessimistic Tdi owner in Australia or this problem has gone away?

I have just fitted the 2 micron product following a series of fuel pump problems and subsequent repairs.

Contain Flow Kit � 2MicronTech.com and pure flow adaptor.


It appears this is the first vehicle in Australia to be fitted with this unit. The vehicle is a Golf 1K wagon 2010 2.0 Tdi CBD with a pickup pump failure at 48k, repair, flush system and secondary pump failure 2 weeks later. Another secondary pump failure in three weeks and I now had nightmares about the low pressure fuel system and the consequences of a HPFP failure arising from this fuel contamination.


I do feel these cars require better fuel filtration than the 10-15 micron standard filter, and I feel I require more down side protection if the HPFP grenades its contents into the low pressure system yet alone the fuel injectors.


My positive experience of installation mirrors that of the Tdiforums in the links on the 2microntech web page.
And yes, TCW3 is now a regular additive.
