Campaign 23H9 - 103kW/125kw TDI PD Piezo Siemens Injector Failure

[manol]

I just called Burwin Volkswagen and quoted my VIN ('08 Passat 125kw) and there is a recall/campaign for my car and I assume any other car with the 125kw PD engine...It's Campaign 23H9

They said that basically you take it in, they check to see if it has the revised version of the injectors, if not they replace the injectors. Therefore, I would probably advise everyone to call your dealer, quote your VIN and see if you have a recall on your car.

It's official now, I've never had a problem *fingers crosses* but I guess I'm definitely not now. Mine's all booked in on Thursday at Barloworld on Nepean Hwy.

Just thought I would let you all know, so you're not driving potential doorstops around.

Love,
James

Thanks for that as mine has that engine, do you know when they installed the revised injectors my build date was the 10/2008?

Thats really good news, i will give my local vw a call

I just rang Vw Penrith and gave the last 6 digits of my Vin and I was told that I'm in that category to receive new injectors , very good news thanks manol

If its due campaign 23H9, when it goes in they will remove the rocker cover to find the injector part numbers, depending on the part number depends on if they are replaced and how many.........VDUB.......

Well I went to VW Penrith today and made arrangements for the Injectors to be replaced including the Loom ,
I asked if the whole lot will be replaced and was told there will be a complete new set installed in the car, as my car showed it had the faulty injectors, even though Ive never had a problem I'd be stupid not to take up the offer .instated date is the 16/may.

This has been in place "on the quiet" for a while, but it is nice to read dealers are openly talking about it now - and not before time VW.

Anyone with a MKV 125kw diesel should contact their dealer. I am yet to be convinced there is a similar program for the 103kw, as it's far better Bosch based system just shuts down one injector typically, compared to the Siemens based 125kw shutting down the lot.

To my knowledge the revised injectors simply have double o-ring seals on the piezo stack, as opposed to the standard one. It always comes down to oil ingress!

already had mine changed as the vehicle (2008 Golf GT Sport TDI) died on the way to the airport in March 2012. The day before I picked up the Mk6 R! I think the car knew

My car is in today to get done (fi it needs it)...I'll scan and post up the invoice/receipt when I get it.

Cheers for that, got in touch with Vw Australia and my car is eligible as well. Now who to go to is the question.

Any dealer? Who cares, they'll all do the same work.

This is good news - have heard they have been doing this in the UK. Will contact the dealer and see what they say.

Just got a call to say the car won't be ready tonight, apparently they put in the new injectors/loom, started it and now it's misfiring. They're keeping it overnight.

Heard back from the dealer - yes there is a campaign and yes my car does fall into that category but they would need to get at the Injectors to check their serial number as apparently its possible that I have injectors that aren't on the list. Got it booked in to get checked - will let you know how it turns out.

I got a booking for the 10th at Ian Boettcher Volkswagen, Ipswich. Have heard a lot of good things about Jacob over there, so lets see.
