Hi. Can you guys advise me?

Does the 2.0 TDi potentially have the same fuel pump issue that is dogging some of the 2004 VW Passat diesels? I have mentioned before I have a fuel leak from around the pump that has trashed the alternator belt. I took it to the dealer today who had never heard of any issue with the VW fuel pump, the only bloke on the planet that wasn’t aware. :confused:

Are you referring to the recall for faulty pump cover bolts? if so then it doesn't appear to cover the Octavia TDI.

Car Recalls - The AA

It's not a common issue here either, I trawled the search facility and there isn't much on leaking fuel pumps.

What's happening with your fuel pump? it might just be a leaking seal or similar.

Im not understanding how the fuel pump on the back of the engine can trash an alternator belt on the front.

Fabia, Octavia 2 and Superb were subject to the PD tandem pump recall. However I only saw one Superb with the LUK pump, all Bosch pumps were OK.

However there is a new ssue with oil/fuel contaimination that VW have a TSB out at the moment but that seems to be limited to the 3C Passat (transverse engine).
