            Still under warranty I hope? Bloody hell, I feel like I'm driving a tick time bomb now. Any chance this could become a recall issue???

              I asked the VW dealer I brought my TDI sport from if there were any recalls, none are registered according to them. If I was driving a Passat TDI, I would also be very concerned, I have just heard from a friend who's company had 2 in a row, both had major reliability problems. investigate the extended warranty, might just be needed.

                I know how you feel!

                The sheer number worldwide makes me wonder why there isn't a recall, but hey, I'll do my part to see what's possible...

                  I've always wondered who initiates a recall? The manufacturer is obviously going to have stats on the number of vehicles affected, but if they decide to do nothing (and if it isn't a safety issue, then they may not be interested in issuing a recall) , how does a consumer group or consumers find out to put pressure on the manufacturer to do a recall if it is warranted?

                    Yes still under warranty...but I think Volkswagen should recall and replace units with a a different injector. I am definitly taking out extended warranty....

                      It will generally only happen under a class action lawsuit

                      If we could document instances where cars had been involved in accidents (eg rear ended when the engine cut out in the fast lane of a highway/freeway) then there would be a strong case of the issue endangering lives (we know it is dangerous but who knows when lawyers get involved)

                              Just drive it as much as you can and get it as hot as you can. If the other injectors are about to fail, you want them to fail asap. Also always make sure you have the paperwork (what they've done) and keep it for later, if needed.

                                Ludicrous to just do one. Time VW stepped up and accepted responsibility.
