Inspect the water pump for signs of contact with engine oil.

Read full bulletin

Engine oil may cause the water pump gasket to swell, which may lead to a coolant leak. If water pump replacement is necessary, ensure that any engine oil is thoroughly cleaned off, prior to water pump installation. Please note that when replacing the water pump or opening the cooling system, there is a special bleed procedure that has to be performed. Vacuum bleed the cooling system for 10 minutes. Start the engine and let idle until the thermostat opens and the cooling fan runs, before driving vehicle or raising engine RPM.

10238949

After a cold start, the engine coolant temperature gauge will slowly rise to approximately 190 F.

When the F265 mapped thermostat opens, the gauge may drop by approximately 60 F before again rising to 190 F. No repairs should be attempted for this normal concern. F265 is pictured below.

vibration damper (harmonic balancer) and the crankshaft timing chain sprocket to the crankshaft. Once the damper is removed, the crankshaft should not be rotated unless special tool spacer T10368 has been installed. The crankshaft timing chain sprocket and spur gear drive on the crankshaft have a coupling that must be seated correctly during assembly. Failure to install special tool spacer T10368 before rotating engine will cause the engine to skip time and bend valves.

Install a vacuum gauge on the dipstick tube and check crankcase vacuum at idle.

Compare to a known good vehicle. If the vacuum reading is lower than the comparison vehicle, visually inspect for oil leaks between the engine and the transmission. Smoke test the crankcase by connecting the EVAP smoke machine to the dipstick tube and inspect for leaks at the rear main seal (this will limit pressure to 2 PSI). DO NOT apply shop air to the dipstick tube or the crankcase. If a rear main seal leak is identified, replace the seal. Once replaced, recheck crankcase vacuum at idle. If low, check for additional oil leaks and verify crankcase breather operation (repairing as necessary). Erase the faults and road test 10 miles to recheck operation.

Incorrect torque converter or flywheel/flexplate installation can result in transmission damage.

Read full bulletin

When installing an engine, flywheel or transmission, please follow the installation procedures outlined in ELSA. For the flywheel/flexplate, please be certain the correct shim is installed between it and the crankshaft (reference VWIQ120). When installing a torque converter, press the torque converter hub through the seal as far as the first stop. Turn the torque converter while pushing toward the transmission using light force, until the cut outs in the torque converter hub lock into the pump wheel plate. The torque converter slides in. The torque converter is installed correctly if it is easy to turn by hand and if it fits evenly in the transmission bell housing. Additionally, it should spin freely when the transmission bell housing bolts are torqued to the engine block, prior to installation of the flywheel to converter bolts (reference VWIQ121).

Check MVB's 41/4 and 136/4 and verify have both changed from a 1 to a 0 (you may have to drive the car 4 miles to get them to reset to 0). Also a key cycle may be required for values to reset. This forces the ECM to re-learn the O2 sensor adaptation. Once MVB 41/4 and 136/4 read 0, re-connect the O2 sensors, road test and recheck for faults.

The resulting fuel system contamination can lead to costly repairs that are not covered under warranty. The corrective action taken was as an additional safeguard to help prevent a gasoline fuel pump nozzle from being used to fuel a TDI Clean Diesel engine vehicle, dealers will install a misfueling guard in the fuel filler neck of vehicles affected by this action. Additionally, a new fuel filler neck cap will also be installed. Please note: The misfueling guard is designed to prevent a gasoline fuel pump nozzle from entering a vehicle?s fuel filler neck, thereby reducing the risk of fuel system contamination from gasoline. Even with this guard installed, remind anyone who refuels the vehicle that it requires diesel fuel, and to double-check the fuel pump to ensure the correct fuel is selected before filling the tank.

from some vehicle owners in localized areas who have concerns about their ability to refuel their vehicle after the 20T8 Service Action was performed. A few customers have advised that they are unable to fuel their vehicle at their preferred fueling stations or that it now takes a very long time to refuel. Volkswagen believes the root cause is attributed to damage and/or variances in diesel fuel nozzles found at fueling stations. At this time, Volkswagen has no evidence to conclude that there is any problem with the misfueling guard. Dealers should continue performing Service Action 20T8 on vehicles that show the code open in ElsaWeb. In discussing this action with customers, Volkswagen encourages to utilize the talking points in this document.

Experience Team has monitored the claims processed through the Carefree Maintenance (CFM) program from its inception. Their findings reveal that, in many cases, the first maintenance interval service (10K) has been claimed multiple times while subsequent maintenance interval services (20K and 30K), although being performed for the customer, have been submitted erroneously. It is crucial that Volkswagen of America receives accurate claim coding information regarding the Carefree Maintenance (CFM) Program. Accurate claim data enables Volkswagen to assist Dealers to improve their CFM penetration and customer return rates. In addition, it allows VWoA to assess the perceived benefits of the program to our customers. To assist Dealer Service Departments in determining the most appropriate service number and maintenance interval to use, Volkswagen has established the guidelines in this document.
