My Vento TDi too faced injector wrath. First on 25 Feb 2014 wherein injector 1 & 4 failed, 200 kms away from home. Replaced under extended warranty. Later on 12 July 2014, injector 2 & 3 gave way within city. Replaced under extended warranty.
You can read complete story here. Do have popcorn tub with you.
Lastly on 25 Jan 2015, fuel solenoid valve gave away while 250 kms away from home. Had to flat bed for which I had to shell out 18,000 as VW Ahmednagar was not able to resole issue.
But, it's been almost 3 years since injector replacement and 2 years since fuel solenoid valve change. Car has been doing all good.
Did a 2200 km road trip end of December'16 wherein I did 901 kms in one single day Gir to Navi Mumbai. Car is performing well and is a hoot to drive.
Finally I skipped fuel filter replacement last year and would be getting it done this year. |
