| Description of the problem | I was driving on a busy street, when i stopped at a red light. The car stalled at the light, and would not restart. I had it towed to the nearest vw dealer and was informed that there was a problem with the fuel pump (metal found), and that they were going to have to replace the fuel pump, and line. I feel that i was lucky not to have been driving on the freeway going 50 - 70 miles an hour, in which a crash could have occurred when the car stalled. |
