No extended warranty, ive serviced it myself since I bought it at 70000k and hadn't even filled on the logbook.
I'll scan the info they gave me and upload it tomorrow

Edit. Scan added.

Best information in the flipping WORLD mate, well done, you are to be congratulated. You've finally confirmed that if your car meets the free replacement guidelines, you should be getting it done free of charge. Not sure when they finally made this official, and I guess if you have paid to date, you'd have grounds to be passing a letter to VWA seeking compensation based on this. You'd have to ensure your car meets the guidelines though, might have to take the rocker cover off and have a look at the injector details.

Again, great work, you need to put this on the Facebook page, and get the accolades.

Word. Get on this if you have been out of pocket for the problem!

Nah you go for it mate, I'm not worries about accolades.

Wa hey!

Nice work Jarred. I'm not surprised they have behaved in this way but it's good to see nonetheless.

[Greg Roles]

I have 03G 130 073M injectors ( can just read on the bottom right of pic ), so it seems sooner or later my TDI will probably conk out...but it will be interesting to see if my heavily modified TDI is still covered by the above....

[benough]

I've never been convinced it's the injector unit but the loom that kills them.

Time will tell on that for you but here's hoping.

[Greg Roles]

I've heard overall that the loom is simply replaced as the oil hardened plugs are real easy to break, heck I sure did break my old ones when putting in the new Audi loom!

Been a while but thought I'd chime in.

Last Thursday on Hume, just before Wallan exit "Engine failure", no warning whatsoever, no power steering, no brakes, managed to pull over without incident.

car: Passat wagon, 125 kW, 4 years 2 months old
odo: 84,220

Towed to Wallan, RACV guy thought I'd run out of fuel.
Towed to Bayford VW in Cooper St, Epping next morning. Received call that care had been received, but busy and long weekend.
Received call Wednesday morning, injectors replaced (incl. loom), under warranty. Only charge was for performing the diagnostic ($130), happy with that. Had faulty park brake switch replaced as well but had to pay for that.
Picked up car today, cleaned inside and outside, drives like a dream.

Very happy with the customer service, will take my car there for the servicing in the future.

Let's hope it's not going to happen again.

I think you will be OK. When mine died the reason quoted was "Carried out TPI. Found the current part number on the injectors is incorrect". They were replaced with part number VW03G130073TX which is what you have already. See also JAZD 's 09/02/12 post last line.

Was advised that VW are now covering injectors and harness under warranty for 7 years in lieu of the standard 3 years.

Just a heads up it seems the X on the end of the part number means it is a refurbished part. Thats just great!
VW and Audi part numbers system explained in ETKA
MY09 White dials for 2.0TDI what part number?

The two M/MX parts are listed in ETKA as alternatives to each other and the MX part has a # (hash) next to it which I assume means refurb.
