Got a 2010 2.0 litre Diesel T5 or a new Cali?
VW are sending out recall letters to owners of 2 litre TDi common rail engined T5's of a certain producion period. They don't actually specify which period or chasis number range, but I got my letter (from After Sales & Customer ces) on Saturday & mine is a 2010 vehicle.
Resonances in certain operating conditions could (in the long term) cause cracks on a diesel injection pipe. They state that although unlikely, in the most extreme circumstances, diesel fuel could leak if the pipe were to crack. They assure us this is a precautionary campaign only as no actual instances of failure have been reported.
(I have had an injection pipe come loose & leak on my Eos which has a similar 2.0 diesel engine - so there must be some history, as well as resonance behind it)
