Description of the problem	The car completely lost power while in motion and i had to pull off the roadway in heavy traffic. The dealer told me that the tdi (diesel) fuel system had a complete failure and imploded into many very small metal parts. Vw is replacing the entire fuel system, but not the engine. I believe metal in the fuel lines is cause for a complete engine replacement as they cannot prove the contamination was limited to the fuel lines. The car is less than 4 months old and has 5500 miles total.
