This from a guy on audi-sport.net who has brought the matter to the attention of vosa ..............
Update from VOSA
They have had a meeting today with regards to this issue as it seems to be affecting anything with a 170 engine judging from the reports they have been getting. They want as many people as are affected to step forward and file a report to see how widespread the issue is and officially who's affected by this. They will be contacting VAG shortly and it will take up to 6 weeks to get an official response.
Let's see them make an excuse to VOSA about FASH now, (if FASH made any difference, we wouldn't have people asking like beggars for goodwill gestures, or getting the fault in the first place!)
Please please please get other people involved, on other forums or someone you know may have been affected. Even you guys that have had the injectors swapped, please file a report, it takes 2 minutes online and can help everyone.
I (we) are not after free injectors, I couldn't care less about them at this point. The fact Audi/VAG are STILL letting people drive around with a ticking timebomb IS EVERYONE'S PROBLEM. If they don't sort this problem out and get away with it, they'll be more inclined to sweep other "coincidences" under the rug too.
Please file, give VOSA the ammo they need, please re-post on other forums, anything with a 170 is affected:

There are no symptoms... The engine dies out of the blue leaving you without power stearing and brakes. Ifyou're lucky you'll be alone in the car when it happends and at a low speed near a towing truck/platform.
In other words it's an accident waiting to happen.

I have to let you guys know that all the lads from down under are watching and hoping you guys can force something out of VAG, we are having the same terrible failure / dismissal experience from the dealers.
Had letter from VOSA stating received and actioning so get your issues new and old in referring to these injectors.

I have a 2007 170 fr and a couple of times it has cut out on me, but always restarted, seat say they suspect injector or injectors but cant action until it faults permanent
They dont stick they go short to earth and the ecu shuts the injector circuit down. Far as I know there's a 7 year warranty on them now.
Because not all of them are nackered mate and it would cost a fortune. They should recall them all,but they won't!!!
Won't be long till they get recalled I bet. Saying that though look how long it took for ignition coils to get recalled.
