  • 2007 2l diesel Passat alert

    Hi all

    Just to let you know that if you or anyone you know has a 2007 2l (not 1.9 as unaffected) diesel passat with a BKP engine (tells you on log book the engine type) then if you haven't heard anything from VW I suggest you contact them.

    There is an inherent fault with the injectors which are prone to carbon collection causing them to fail which in turn burns out the associated wiring loom. The no2 injector is the favourite to go first but this problem can affect any one of them either one at a time or all at once.

    If the car feels like it has a mis-fire whilst driving or trouble starting then please get this checked out because when one goes your car will cut out and not start again potentially leaving the driver stranded. I have heard of an example of this happening whilst the driver was on the motorway so it could be quite a scary situation.

    Take care

    Just to edit, I think these engines might be in other cars eg seat but I'm not entirely sure. If in doubt check it out.

    do what? assuming I know that a car has 5 wheels and a weird nob that the driver plays with - what does the above mean exactly...?

      Basically there's a production fault with the engine which may cause it to just cut out indiscriminately (sp) and never run again until it's fixed - which means going to the trouble of arranging a tow truck and then further trips back and forth to the garage

        The independent VW specialists have been banging on about this for a couple of years or more, VW didn't want to know initially, one injector failing will cause the car to become immobile, rectification is about £1,300 at a specialist before VW started to recall.

          Yes and Black Horse tried to tell me it happened due to wear and tear!
