Volkswagen Jetta Fuel System, Diesel Safety Report | Aug 26, 2012
Reported on Aug 26, 2012
| AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 JETTA TDI SPORTSWAGON, I NOTICED A STEAM COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AND DIESEL SMELL INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD THERE WAS DIESEL ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND BELTS, AND LARGE AMOUNT OF STEAM WAS COMING OUT. WHEN I TOOK OF THE ENGINE COVER AND STARTED THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE 2ND CYLINDER INJECTOR PIPE. I DO NOT HAVE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED AND PAID BY VW. THERE IS SMELL IN THE VEHICLE, FOAM IS SOAKED WITH DIESEL, AND BELTS MIGHT HAVE LESS LIFE IN THEM. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE SO THIS WOULD BE FIXED AT NO COST TO ME. *TR | |
