[Vwdiesel] PD engine..

[Arnie Grubbs]

Yes, thats the "Pumpe-Düse" engine that VW has had
in the USofA since fall of '03/spring of '04.

Everyone else (read that as all non N.Americans)
has has had these engines available for a number of years
before that. 

I imagine that what happend was the guy got some bad fuel
past the fuel filter..   Maybe he was trying to recycle
engine oil! :)   Anyway, with the higher pressure system
its very critical to have CLEAN! fuel due to closer pump
tolerances and finer nozzle holes..  

Drive ON!

I was talking with the service manager at our local dealership, and he told
me about a repair they just did on an 05 Jetta.  He says VW is really trying 
to make the Jetta a more upscale car.  But what really caught my ear
was the description of the engine.  I may have this wrong, but apparently,
there is a cam controlled injection system for each cylinder, with no
single pump.  (Scalable motor?)  They had a car in under warranty with 
three out of four injectors bad, and each cylinder was a $1000 parts bill.

And you pull the cam.

Interesting, and I'll have to read more about it when the snow flies.
