• 10032252Oct 14, 2007Fuel system. Volkswagen: fuel pump replacement clarification. Excessive wear of intake camshaft lobe that drives the high pressure fuel pump. The wear limits maximum pump piston lift, causing fuel rail pressure fluctuations. The wear on the camshaft lobe can also lead to wear on the base of the high pressure fuel pump cam follower.
• 10032272Oct 1, 2007Engine cooling. Volkswagen: due to fuel intrusion into the low pressure side fuel pressure sensor g410, a false signal may be sent to the ecm resulting in a reading that is out of tolerance. A false signal may result in illumination of the malfunction indicator lamp and dtc p129f or dtc p310b being stored in fault memory. Improved fuel pressure sensor g410 to air against fuel intrusion.
• 10022463Jun 29, 2007Engine cooling. Mil on, dtc's p0442, p0445, p0456 or p2404 stored in ecm fault memory, no leaks present.
