Fair enough on the fire comment, and again my mistake. Was that really an issue on VW/Audi DI systems? I've heard plenty about their pumps being notoriously junk and failing to provide enough fuel leading to detonation and exploded motors, but hadn't heard about the fire thing. |
I noticed Subaru doesn't have this wording on their TSB. VW has had a lot problems with their HPFP failing and with some fires. BMW and Mini as well. With the large amount of PSI these fuel pumps produced I get nervous about any hint of failure. I have bit of paranoia about fuel pumps as I had an old VW beetle that had a chirping fuel pump shortly before failing and spewing gas all over the engine. Fortunately the weather and the engine was cold so no fire. A new $30 fuel pump later and it was running fine.
