Didn't want to hijack the Bulligras thread but saw that Nathan was turning
in his TDI on Saturday. It may be of interest and benefit to anyone turning
in a vehicle on the VW buy-back. My daughter purchased a electric Volt and
was scheduled to turn her Jetta back on Feb 3. The only stipulation for the
buy-back was it had to run & drive on day of buy-back. On Feb. 2 she
decided to drive it to work one last time. Before she arrived it sputtered,
coughed and died.
After having it towed to the dealership they came back (complete with
video) and told her that the pressure fuel pump had imploded sending metal
particles throughout the fuel system. The entire system had to be replaced
and everything cleaned & flushed out. The mechanic then told her that all
cost will be taken care of by VW; there was an extended warranty on the
fuel pump because they had had trouble with them. He also said that he
would start work and have it ready by 2 pm next day when her buy-back was
scheduled.
We were very happy with Charles Maund dealership in Austin that took care
of her.
