Well, they might tell you it doesn't need doing as the bulletin is a US one... there needs to be an equivalent UK one I think  :rolleye:

Regarding a fuel pressure sensor recall, just phoned my local dealers, who I have a very good relationship with, and they stated  that there was a low fuel pressure recall on the AXX engines only ? My service "chap" that I use there is a MK5 enthusiast and has never fobbed me off with any query I have had before - can anyone enlighten me ?

Regards,

Gareth

As a subsiduary point I'm glad Nadeem that JKM got to the bottom of the matter - take my hats off to their persistance and professionalism throughout.

.

I'm sure a few UK guys with BWA engines have posted on other forums that they have had their sensors replaced under the TSB.   :confused:

Mine's a BWA.

Recall notice was a 24m5 - fuel pressure sensor. I don't know if it was low or high, but they did tell me it was the wrong one fitted from the factory.... so it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that yours is incorrect too.

Further to this, neither the old owner who I know well or I had any notification of the recall. I found out when it was in over the DSG jerking, it came up on the system at the dealers They clearly did something too, as the car is much smoother and they hadn't touched the DSG as it was on the latest software.
Sideways yo!

i rang vw, spoke to a sarah who was friendly, she said there have been NO recalls for the ed30, she said she has heard NOTHING about any issues with the car,. she also said she knows a lot about the ed30 because she started working there when it was released.

she did however say there was only 2000 ed30s made, thats not right is it??

anyway i told the vw when i booked my service about this document and quoted the code. so see what happeneds

Steve, you experienced what is know in colloquial as 'being fobbed of' or 'told a load of bo110cks' etc... Stealers aren't exactly a fountain of knowledge when it comes to the cars they sell and service unfortunately.

Personally, I'd ring up VW UK. Knowing how BMW UK used to work...the dealers were useless with stuff like this!
2008 Golf GTI - Revo Stage 2 NOW SOLD

2006 E46 BMW M3 - 343hp
2000 Lotus Elise Sport160 - 160hp

i think i'll give them a ring tomorrow to see if mine needs doing.
But i've had no probs running stage 1 tho. its been an absolute peach!!
