Description of the problem	While driving up hill on a city street traveling at 40 miles per hour the engine lost power. Fortunately traffic was light at the time and i was able to get to the side of the road before the engine lost all power and later would not restart.. If this was on the highway, i would have been disabled in traffic lanes creating a hazard for myself and others. Various warning lights came on at the time the engine lost power. I later found out the problem was a 'catastrophic' high pressure fuel pump failure. This is a known problem for which volkswagen has blamed on incorrect or poor fuel. This was not the cause the pump failure in my vehicle and points to problems with the part itself. I learned that volkswagen provided an extended warranty for high pressure fuel pumps, but only up to the 2012 model year. (my vehicle is a 2013 model.) my vehicle had 70,657 miles on it at the time the problem occurred.
