2007 Volkswagen GTI Fuel System, Gasoline Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	731967

Manufacurer	VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN

File date	01/05/09
Component	FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The high pressure fuel pump cam follower system on the 2. 0t fsi motors is prone to failure, i had a follower wear through the protective coating in about 20,000 miles, and due to this reason further wear would be accelerated, damaging the camshaft and the cam lobe, as well as the fuel pump, causing the car to be out of service for at least fifteen days. I replaced the follower myself but demand that volkswagen finds a reasonable solution to fix this. They refuse to do any repairs until there is a failure. But when a failure occurs more than 5000 dollars with of labor and parts must be put into the car to fix this issue. And if it is past the warranty period than this problem is just a ticking time bomb. This must be solved in order for these cars to have at least some chance at longevity without a repair that will break later on.
