2009 Volkswagen Jetta Fuel System Diesel Engine Fuel Propulsion System Problems

WHILE DRIVING THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR STALLED CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL POWER STEERING ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL AND WRECK. I WAS ABLE TO STEER CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD AND STOP. ONCE STOPPED WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO RESTART BUT WAS BARELY ABLE TO DRIVE HOME (PERIODICALLY DIED AND HAD TO RESTART, WOULDN'T STAY RUNNING OR IDLE). HAD CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS LOW RAIL FUEL PRESSURE CAUSED BY FAILED HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. THIS FAILURE CAUSED METAL SHAVINGS TO BE DISPERSED THROUGHOUT ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. I'M TOLD THAT THE HP FUEL PUMP, LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE FUEL REGULATORS, AND TANK FUEL PUMP ALL MUST BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A COMPLETE REMOVAL AND CLEANING OF ALL FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS. ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR IS BETWEEN $7,000 AND $10,000. THIS CAR IS A DIESEL TDI. *TR

TDI DIESEL ENGINE. ENTERED HIGHWAY, CAR STUTTERED, ENGINE DIED, DISPLAYED WORKSHOP CODE PROBLEM, GLOWPLUG LIGHT FLASHING. RESTARTED ONE TIME, TRAVELED TO PARKING AREA, ENGINE DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. CODE WAS P0087, FUEL PUMP PRESSURE FAILURE. NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS OR HINTS OF THIS ISSUE. SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE. VERY DANGEROUS, WAS DRIVING UPHILL, THE ONE RESTART ALLOWED ME TO LEAVE ROAD. DEALER NOTED NO FUEL CONTAMINATION. SYSTEM WAS PROPERLY PRIMED ON FUEL FILTER CHANGES. USED A ROSS-TECH CABLE AND SOFTWARE. REPAIR IS EXPECTED TO BE ABOUT $7000.00. PREVIOUS DIESEL 2001 MODEL WAS STILL RUNNING WITH 332,000 MILES WHEN THIS ONE WAS PURCHASED. TDICLUB.COM WEBSITE HAS NOTED MANY OF THESE FAILURES, SEARCH HPFP, HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. VW IS NOT FURNISHING PUMPS DESIGNED WITH THE US DIESEL FUEL QUALITY IN MIND. VW NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF THESE FAILURES. *TR
