How do you get water in the system? Could come from when they pumped - it is possible for water to leak into underground fuel tanks. A short while ago - we managed to get water into our system - luckily it caused no damage - just remove plugs, blast out with compressed air and carry on. But I would expect that fuel filter should be able to remove small amount of water - so would also have to wonder what happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swifter78 2nd Gear December 23, 2014 Share December 23, 2014 There is a thread started by the owner in vagsg forum. It has been pushed here and there by VW for quite some time and I guess the owner has no choice but to make it public now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic December 23, 2014 Share December 23, 2014 (edited) You all jin funny. Know the source is from the newpaper but nobody search their website. Nah nah nah...not the full article but better dan nothing. http://www.tnp.sg/news/water-diesel-shock-couples-new-140000-car-needs-28000-repairs By: FOO JIE YING In September, they bought a Volkswagen Touran TDI 1.6 seven-seater to replace their second-hand Honda Civic. Mr Cheah Khuan Yew, 37, and his wife Jessica, 41, needed a bigger car for their family of five. But after Mr Cheah topped up diesel in the four-day-old car, the engine started stuttering. Three months later, the findings from an inspection found that the car engine had been damaged by water-tainted diesel. But ExxonMobil proved to the couple that it was not a fuel problem. Volkswagen has told the Cheahs that it would cost $28,000 to replace the engine and fuel system, which is not covered by the car warranty and insurance. And they are still baffled as to how water could have entered the fuel tank of their new car.
