2007 VW Passat TDI - Engine fault (exhaust)

[tresnja1981]

Found this forum by searching for engine issues with 2007 Passat diesel after my car suddenly lost power to accelerate while I was driving it yesterday afternoon and the "exhaust" light came on for engine fault. Car will not turn over at all and had it towed home. Luckily it was only 800m from my place.

Although it is a 2007 build, the car was first registered by the dealership in 2009 and we bought it in May 2010 while it still had two years factory warranty and had 19,000 on the clock.

It has been driven for almost 6 years now (first by dealership, and almost 5 years by me) and regularly serviced (last service was two months ago at 70,000) and it has just passed 72,000 km.

Am very concerned that I have a major issue on my hands after reading posts to this forum as it appears there is a known problem with the injectors, but rather than issuing a recall, Volkswagon Australia ran a "campaign" to contact owners.

The last posts on this subject are from late 2013 so worried I have missed the boat on this even though my car is same year and similar odometer reading as when other posters experienced the problem.

I'll need to start calling tomorrow morning (Monday) to get the car fixed.
ANY ADVICE???????????

Get onto Volkswagen and see if your car falls within those affected by the injector failures.

You should still be covered with regards to this.
