problem #1

Aug 162013

Golf 4-cyl Diesel

  • 10,995 miles
Glow plug and check engine indicator appeared while driving approximately 45 mph in vicinity of the M-10 freeway in detroit, mi. Vehicle power unexpectedly cut out, forcing me to maneuver off of the road at a speed lower than surrounding traffic. I picked up the vehicle on 19 Aug from the dealer and experienced an identical problem in vicinity of 9 mile road and middlebelt in farmington hills, mi. VW later informed me that the problem was associated with a failure of the high pressure fuel pump.
