Just wanted to pass on some info that i found out yesterday while chatting to VW customer services.
They told me there is a Recall for the Coolant pump( i presume that is a the water pump) on the Ed35, recall was only announced on the 18th Feb and letters should be sent to owners anytime soon.
I spoke with my local dealer yesterday and they had no info yet.
-
Just booked the dragons Ed 35 in for service this morning , the girl made no mention of it , she did try her best to convince me that the air con needed a £79 service while it was in.
I wasn't convinced enough to agree mind.
-
I'm not surprised. Mine broke last year and blew the engine apart, they gave me an extra year drivetrain warranty. They told me it was an isolated incident :grin:
-
Thanks for the heads up, I will let you guys know how it goes if I'm on the list to be replaced.
-
Indeed, thanks for the heads up. Will call my dealer tomorrow..
-
interesting as i noticed my coolant was a little lower than normal and tipped mine up but no mention when it was serviced a few weeks ago
-
Update
I can confirm it is now on VW system with dealers, booked mine in this morning, even though i have not received a letter yet.
The recall is indeed the water pump, apparently the pulley can shear and destroy the motor, they suggested as a precaution i only use the car to drive to the vw garage for repair :shocked:
Sounds a bit of a severe explanation imo, but i will go with it....

I noticed this thread over the weekend. I called my local Stealer earlier today and they hadn't heard about it, but once they checked their systems they found the recall. She wasn't sure how long they'd need the car for so she's going to call me back to book it in. My ED35 has about 17K on it, I assume they'll just re-use the existing timing belt again?

re timing belt, I asked the same question, response was unless contaminated the original will be reused, however I did say I will leave a new one on the passenger seat :wink:
also I didn't know the TB interval had changed from every 4y/120k to 5 years or 120k

Wow I had no idea it had changed either. I would have thought it was every 60K or 4 years just like it was on the ED30/MKV GTI
-
Nice to see VW actually recalling for this on the Edition 35. Top marks to VW for this :smiley: :cool:
SHAME on them for NOT recalling the normal GTI for its equally problematic timing chain tensioner. :angry:
-
I'm also waiting on a call back to confirm my booking for the recall... Due my first visit under my service plan and looking at a warranty claim for my delaminating windscreen so hoping to sort it all in 1 visit with any luck :smiley:

GS,
Thanks for the info on the timing belt. How much is a new one? seems a shame not to change it anyway. I see you are in Bucks, where are you and which dealer are you using?

I can see why it it's being recalled, mine went when I was doing 70ish. There was total loss of power, steering and scary brakes, thankfully I could pull over as there was no other traffic.
I guess mine will be recalled too as VW said they would be putting the same type of pump on because their engineers were satisfied that it was still a quality product.
I wonder how many have actually went bang?

Peter,
I live near Princes Risborough and work near MK.
I will be using Keith Garages,Sorry,Aylesbury Volkswagen/wayside/Lancaster/jardine or whatever the phuck they want to go under from one week to the next, but I still refer to them as Keith's,still mostly the same Tekkie's from years ago,good lads actually, and well into their VW's , plus I'v known the Mastertech since he was an apprentice and I was in and out of there with my MK2 16v.
Citygate High Wycombe is also highly Recommended, if your looking for a Dealership, again the workshop staff an most of the service reception staff have been there form the year dot when it was Rye Mill.
That goes a long way in my book,means they have plenty of experience with all the models and like their place of work,which usually(but not guaranteed) means the customer gets a proper job done.
Don't know how much TB is,will just ring TPS in the morning and put it on my acc.ill post when I get the price

Thanks,
Princes Risborough, I know it well, back in yesteryear I used to mountain bike from there once a month, great trails! bit of a climb up is it Kop hill ? that sobered the group up... we used to park in the car park next to the roundabout. Thats a very nice area to live in. Did you go and see the hill climb thats based there last year?
I will probably use Citygate Ruislip as it's closest to me in Ickenham. I got the car from Citygate Watford. High Wycombe is a mare to commute in and out of. Aylesbury a little to far. Did you know the price of a TB? thanks for the info.
Peter

I added this to the original :grin:

Yep, Kop Hill climb,i go and watch most years, get some reasonably nice machinery turn up, plus the town almost has a carnival atmosphere too, quite a good day actually,providing the weather is OK.

Had my call back regarding the recall to be told by a rather rude woman that there is no such thing and if there were they would contact me, not the other way round :rolleyes:
Mine is a July 2012, just wondering whether it's a particular vin range? Anyone else with a mid 2012 car affected or confirmed for the recall? :smiley:

Steve,
Mine is a July 12 reg and Feb built , must be certain chassis ranges then.
-
Mine is Feb 2012 build. It was definitely affected by the dodgy pump
-
Just checked mine on the VW website. Not saying there is a recall but a few people have posted on the VW page on Facebook. I just did the same as they seem to reply (VW). Mine is a Dec-12 so not sure if it will be necessary...??
-
VW UK say there is no recall?? About to ring the dealer...
-
Had mine done yesterday, 19J5 coolant pump recall is on the paperwork and info sticker in boot.

Called the dealer and told no recall on the system. What's the info sticker in the foot?
-
Dealers fit a sticker with work description code and dealer stamp next to the build spec sticker.
Yours must be ok and not needed, it is indeed only a recall for certain vin ranges and not all 35's according to the technician that done my work.

Thanks. I've looked at the sticker in the boot but couldn't see that code

Never trust VW, they lie.
If you asked if your car is affected make sure you have their response in writing.
