Recall Notice TDI engine

[BGeeves]

Had a call from dealer yesterday, the earliest they can do it is 5th April this is due to the amount they have to do.

So it looks like I'll be waiting, seeing if my car will crack and leak diesel everywhere

Just think of it as extra rust proofing

got my letter today, tandem fuel pump bolts check. gotta be booked in but i can see it being a while till it gets done

 

[seat130fr]

just a quick question, but by having these tandem fuel pump bolts replaced, will it in any way need ecu re-programming or anything..... just wonderin whether it#'ll affect revo or not. i guess it wont as its just replacing of bolts but then again it takes over an hour to replace some bloody bolts!!!!

anyone got pics of these so called bolts?

Leaking Fuel!

i must be leaking fuel from the tandem pump bolts
i only got 47 mpgs down the m54 this afternoon! (or was it down to a heavier right foot?)

What were the affected build dates/chassis numbers?

Got a recall notice for my Ibiza Cupra tdi this morning, I could do with a few more mpg. Oh well yet another trip to the dealer.

which pump is this? the one on the side of the engine or the one in the tank? my car was built in feb 2003 and the pump at side of engine and surrounding pipes are wet with diesel, is this the same problem?

Is this August 04 or 05?

It only affects 1.4 and 1.9 diesels built between March and August 2004.

Can't find anything on the net, the ibiza I am getting is an May 05 PD 130. Whats the fault and will it be affected?

Whats the fault

Incorrect attachment bolts used on the fuel pump, resulting in a fuel leak.

will it be affected

Depends when your car was built, rather than when it was registered. It is entirely possible that yours was built many months before it was registered, but I'd be surprised if it hasn't already had the recall done by now - this recall is very old news!

It's nothing to worry about. Diesel fuel isn't much of a fire hazard like petrol - it's more of a problem for motorcyclists behind you! The recall is free (obviously) and only takes a day for a dealer to do. Just go and ask a dealer to check whether yours has been done - they should have a database of which cars have been done.

As you see it is build dates between March 04 and August 04 as mentioned earlier in the thread, so you've nothing to worry about.
