Just drive it as much as you can and get it as hot as you can. If the other injectors are about to fail, you want them to fail asap. Also always make sure you have the paperwork (what they've done) and keep it for later, if needed.Originally Posted by pongpagong

Ludicrous to just do one. Time VW stepped up and accepted responsibility.

Read some interesting stuff on Wikipedia (yes I know not the best source) that confirms when Common Rail was introduced as part of TDI. Transporter has advised that the Common Rail engines don't have the injector problem.
Just thought others might be interested.

Trouble is if they do a recall overseas ...will it be simply ignored here.

I would question the "No recalls". I took mine in for both a service and repair. A GT TDI MK5.
I was experiencing intermitant faults. Not starting first time, cruse cont. issues, Glow plug sticking on, Engine error light on dash, Power loss,
DSG sticking in second and holding, etc. These were all intermitant and mostly not at the same time. It was fixed under warrenty (now also to find a scratch in the paint). They had replaced the wireing loom that runs to the MAF. VW knew what it was, when the full list of faults were given and it is a new and known recall to them. Since I have only had one startins issue, but fine on second attempt.
