Subject: Warranty Extension for High-Pressure Fuel Pump
Certain 2009-2012 Model Year Volkswagen Touareg TDI® Clean Diesel Engine Vehicles &
Certain 2012 Model Year Volkswagen Passat TDI® Clean Diesel Engine Vehicles
Dear Volkswagen Owner:
As part of Volkswagen’s ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction, we are informing you of our
decision to extend the warranty for the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) in your TDI® Clean Diesel
engine vehicle under specific conditions to 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the
vehicle's original in-service date.
The vehicle's original in-service date is defined as the date the vehicle was delivered to either the
original purchaser or the original lessee; or if the vehicle was first placed in service as a "demonstrator"
or "company" car, on the date such vehicle was first placed in service.
Should you ever sell the vehicle, this warranty extension is fully transferable to subsequent owners.
Please keep this letter with your Warranty booklet and deliver it to any new owner, along with the
owner’s manual.
This warranty extension covers the diagnosis and replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump
only if the correct, uncontaminated fuel is present in your vehicle.
As part of diagnosing a vehicle with a suspected high-pressure fuel pump issue, your dealer will
analyze a fuel sample from the vehicle to determine if the correct, uncontaminated fuel is present. Upon
confirmation of the correct, uncontaminated fuel, the high-pressure fuel pump will be replaced at no cost
to you, as long as the vehicle remains within the time and mileage limit of this warranty extension.
If analysis shows incorrect or contaminated fuel, the vehicle will not have coverage under this
extension. Additionally, this warranty extension will not cover:
 Any damage or malfunctions caused by the installation of non-factory components intended to
modify the engine and/or allow the vehicle to run on a non-commercially manufactured
“alternate” fuel.
 Other conditions unrelated to a faulty high-pressure fuel pump that may cause the MIL and/or
glow plug light to illuminate. These conditions may require repairs that are needed for proper
diagnosis of the underlying condition. Any repairs that are (1) necessary for proper diagnosis of
these other conditions or (2) required to bring the vehicle’s emission system up to factory
specifications are not covered by this warranty extension.

 Damage or malfunctions caused by outside influence, such as damage due to an accident, or
vehicle misuse or neglect as well as repairs that are (1) necessary for proper diagnosis of these
other conditions or (2) required to bring the vehicle up to factory specifications is not covered by
this warranty extension.
