Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen stalling problems

Filed Feb 4, 2025 · Engine, Fuel system · IL

My Bosch CP4 fuel pump failed causing my engine to stall while turning at a very busy/fast intersection. This can occur at speed without any warning of sudden failure, putting everyone on the road at risk. Fault code P0087 and P0191 were present, along with a flashing glow plug. Following EA No.: EA11-003 I removed the fuel metering valve and observed and documented metal shavings. The failed component is still installed on my vehicle as I will be having it serviced shortly. The fact that this same component has been recalled very recently in many domestic trucks, but not in the 600,000 VW/Audi vehicles it is installed in is concerning. EA No.: EA11-003 Date Opened: 7-Feb-2011 Date Closed: 27-Mar-2015 The date this analysis was closed was months before the Dieselgate Scandal broke, leads me to question its credibility. This repair is very expensive as a whole new fuel system needs to be installed, with the same questionable pump.

While driving my car, which is a manual, will stall out of nowhere. Not while changing gears, but while driving on highway. It stalls which is extremely dangerous. I read the federal safety agency investigated this problem in 2010. I believe my car is part of this investigation.

The car stalls in traffic and is slow to accelerate. The service department attributes the cause from a problem with a contaminated fuel system. However, the car has had a series of problems with the electrical system where I was told the "radio is draining the battery". The car would be parked without the keys in the ignition and it failed to start and the cause being the radio draining the battery. The issue is both electrical and diesel engine related.

The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled with the glow plug warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact was able to coast the vehicle off to the side of the roadway after nearly being crashed into by a semi-truck. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to his residence; and upon inspection, he discovered that the high-pressure fuel pump had failed and released metal shavings into the fuel filter. The dealer was notified of the failure and provided an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 125,733.

The vehicle has a hard time on startup when stationary (when the temperature fluctuates from freezing to thawing), sometimes taking three to four times for it to crank over. Once it cranks over it will vibrate and shake like it is going to stall. It will also shake and act like it's going to stall after in motion for the first minute. Took to the dealership, said it was an old battery. Replaced battery, the issue is intermittent (again when the temperature fluctuates). Read online that it could be a tdi intercooler design flaw. The dealership will not cover unless they experience the problem. This issue says it can cause engine failure. Looking to take it to an independent vw tdi shop to see if they can diagnose the problem and get a second opinion. Hopefully, this doesn't have anything to do with the fuel pump.

While driving home, the car stalled with no warning and would not restart although starter etc were working fine. After getting it towed to the dealership, they reported that the fuel pump had failed leaving metal through out my fuel system, a problem they've seen with this make and model in the past. After contacting the manufacturer, they said it was a known issue, but not common enough to warrant a recall and would not cover the cost of repair which was over $5000, more than the current value of the car in good condition.
