260000 kilometers
with what oil ? does it matter , you betcha .

i have seen this , most of the time it is because the customer , used
INcorrect UNspecified oil for the car .

, BIO diesel , do not use BIO diesel in any VW or Audi
just don't , you can not imagine the levels of carbon deposits resulting from incorrect fuel s .

sure
any complex system can have failures
but VW does their best to eliminate them and will do what ever they can to warranty a defect.

problems installed by the driver sometimes even get warranteed
for
best results
use the VW specified oils , LL03 504 / 507 in the common rail diesel engines
nothing else
***********************************
remember that VW has been building diesel engines for use in the USA since
the early 80s
without a taxpayer funded bailout - somehow VW is still profitable while
Government Motors is gasping and struggling to meet financial obligations ,
many of which it will NEVER repay
to
US ,
the American citizen taxpayer .
