I have a 2002 jetta gls tdi. i am constantly replacing glow plugs. have a coolant temp code reading for quite some time and also fuel injection pump, which is probably what is causing glow plugs to go bad. *tr
2002 jetta tdi wagon; i have had 6 glow plugs replaced then told that the check engine light was for a bad glow plug harness. dealer in buffalo told me that the oem harness was made from inferior materials and many fail, but no recall has been issued; now faced with $150 parts and labor to replace this defective harness. *tr
I own a 2002 vw jetta tdi (diesel). at 49,500 miles, the engine stopped running. the problem was a clogged fuel intake system. the car is still under warranty. i was told that the warranty does not cover this problem, as it is a maintenance issue. i called the vw headquarters, and they explained that this problem should not occur if scheduled maintenance was performed. i have done all of the scheduled maintenance, at a great expense. finally, vw has agreed to pay half of the $520.00 bill to clean the fuel intake. after doing web research, this seems to be a problem facing many vw tdi owners. because vw told me this problem should not occur with routine maintenance, i believe that vw is not honoring the warranty by paying the entire expense.*ak
