ON MY 2013 VW PASSAT TDI, THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH WHEN DRIVING CAR ON 40MPH ROAD, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER (WENT INTO LIMP MODE), BUT WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME. FAULT CODES PULLED WERE P0087(FUEL RAIL / SYSTEM PRESSURE LOW). LATER DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. AFTER SOME QUICK RESEARCH, I FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG VW COMMON RAIL TDI ENGINES. (THIS WILL BE A $5000 - $7000 DEALER REPAIR)

DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID SYSTEM FAILED CAUSING NO START SITUATION. CARS LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD AND IS ALREADY BEING RECALLED FOR EMISSIONS CHEATING. DON'T HAVE THE 1100$ TO SPEND ON A CAR THAT IS BEING BOUGHT BACK IN A COUPLE MONTHS. STUCK AT THE HOUSE LUCKLY OR A TOW WOULD HAVE BEEN NEEDED. ALSO THE DEALER MOST OFTEN CAN USE A VAG-COM SCANNER TO RESET THIS AND THE CAR WILL WORK, BUT THERE JUST TELLING PEOPLE THEY "NEED" THE HEATER AND SOMETIMES I'VE HEARD THE WHOLE TANK WHICH OF COURSE IS A LIE. THE HEATER ISN'T WHAT GOES BAD IT'S A THERMISTOR TYPE SENSOR THAT TELLS THE CAR THE TEMP OF THE FLUID. WHEN THIS FAILS IT GIVES THE COMPUTER BAD INFO AND RESULTS IN A SHUTDOWN OF THE SYSTEM. WHICH CAN BE RESET, AND OFTEN WORKS. I CAN'T AFFORD A VAG-COM SOFTWARE SETUP AT 800$ EITHER SO WE ARE STUCK AND VERY UPSET! VW SLAPPED US IN THE FACE TWICE NOW WITH FAULTY EMMISION COMPONENTS.
