Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS APROX 39K MILES. HEARING A METALLIC GRINDING SOUND IN MY ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. TOOK IT TO A VW DEALER. THEY TOLD ME IT'S A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE AND THAT NOT TO DRIVE IT AS IS. 1 WEEK LATER, PICKED UP MY "REPAIRED" CAR TO ONLY HAVE A HOWLING SOUND COMING FROM ENGINE WITHIN 1 HOUR OF PICKING IT UP. BROUGHT THE CAR BACK NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD IT'S THE AUXILLARY FUEL PUMP FAILING. THAT WAS REPLACED. PICKED UP MY CAR YESTERDAY AND TODAY I HAVE A HIGH PITCHED HOWLING SOUND AGAIN FROM THE SAME PART OF MY ENGINE. RETURNING THE CAR AGAIN TO VW TOMORROW. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. APPARENTLY THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VW TDI HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS. CAR CAN DIE ON ME ANY TIME. SO FAR REPAIRS COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS IS LOOKING LIKE A LEMON TO ME. *TR
