Suction Pump Seal Recall

[Diggs24]

The more recalls you ignore the less chance you have to deal with the dealer tech morons fucking your shit up.

Very curious to know how long it takes a dealer tech to do this, because I'd try to schedule it on the same day as the ignition recall, but as @Diggs24 brought up I'd want to wait around for it. I don't need some teenager blasting off for lunch in my car just because it's a little more exciting than a mk6 jetta 2.0

yes I'm overprotective/paranoid

30mins tops.

hehe, I have a Webasto fuel pump mounted where the leak detector module is, and the module has been hacked up and double-sided taped to the side of the gas tank. how likely is it that the dealer will want to work on my car..

hope it’ll just be the suction pump inside the tank and not a whole new tank for some reason.

update: I just read through the old recall from 2016 and they have instructions for what to do if there’s a parking heater so I think I’m all good.

So true the clowns at the local stealership either don't know what they are doing or don't give a ship.

Yea, I'd rather them give me the part for free. My dealer wouldn't hesitate to F-up this install. 100% my fuel gauge wouldn't work when I get the car back.

Yeah I don't smell gas and I'm able to fill the tank. I'll wait it out.

Because they have no way of knowing which were bad out of the lot, so they recall them all. I have the "plating flaking off the front of the shifter base" or something like that on my R. Mine is perfect, so why should I take the chance even the best mechanic won't break something? It's not like they'll replace something they screw up if it's not showing.

Same. I've had that shifter trim recall open on my car for years now. Haven't had it at the dealer for anything in a long while, but they always used to ask me if I wanted it done even though the trim on mine is still perfect nearly 10 years later

what's the ignition recall? haven't gotten a notice for that one.

I believe it's only poverty spec cars, with the traditional key (no push button). In warm climates I suppose the fuse can melt and cause the car to unexpectedly shut down?

What is different on the R? Do they not have a suction pump? No recall on them..yet.

Different part number

Think the gas tank/pump stuff is different because of the AWD, no?
