Just recieved word that VWofA has authorized 100% warranty coverage on my car in part of teh fact that I am a multiple VW owner, I am the original owner of this car, I have had all of my service done at the same dealer on all my cars and that this particular one has been maintained in 100% compliance to the manual. :)

Perhaps it shouldn't have any bearing, but if your out of your original factory warranty, it absolutely does. I managed a service aisle before, and all of these things factor in the manufacturer's decision.

As a TDI newbie, can someone explain to me why this fuel pump costs $10k? Does this include a new engine and trans too? Sorry, I'm sure this a stupid question but I just don't see how this happens.

Is there any special maintenance that can be done to prevent it's failure??

Just an update/comment on occurance levels. My service advisior told me recently that he just saw his second failure on a 2010 JSW. This time, based on my exprience and what I had shared with him, the delearship was better prepared to resolve the issue...

But I will say this, my dealer did an outstanding job taking care of me. And no, thats not a plug for VWoA. But a plug for my dealer...
