VW GTI Mk5 Warranty Recall

[DamoGTI]

Hi,

Local dealer called me up 2 weeks ago and said they needed to do a recal. They swapped the ECU and fuel pressure sensor over.

Has anyone had this experience? Mines an 06 DSG.

Yea had mine done yesterday, also had the headlamp level sensor replaced under warranty after i asked them to have a look at the headlamp levels cause i couldn't see more than 10m in front of me at night!

Fuel pump is a common thing on 06 models as for swapping the ECU - are you sure it wasnt just an update?

yeah i had the fuel pump one done on my service last week and had an ECU update a little before that - no replacement ecu though

I had the fuel pressure sensor replaced and an ECU update

....Has anyone got the reference # for the fuel pressure sensor replacement issue - A good VW dealer will have entered it on your paperwork.

Also, the last ECU update was 24K6 or are you reporting a more recent one?

If he's just had the pump swapped I am guessing its the same update (24K6) - both relatively old to be honest.

I dont think they class the pump as a recall even, some dealer will only swap if you throw up the right code.

....We discussed this fuel pressure sensor recall in some detail in another thread and IIRC it's not a big deal. My VW dealer mechanic explained why I didn't need the swap but I think I suffer from short term memory loss - I remember that it made sense at the time.

My invoice shows 'carried out 24m5 recall'

....Great!! Exactly what I need to check with my VW guy again. Seeing him on Friday when I steal their new Scirocco for a bit.

Thanks mb
