VW injectors

[ivor]

Hi all, I'v got a little grief with my 2008 Passat heater blower resistor, it's just killed the 3rd in 4 months, he inj& was talking to an auto sparks about it. Then he started on about a recall on the injectors & wiring loom. He said that they die without warning.
It's a 1.9 PD does anyone know more about this?

Vosa have a list of recalls, and I believe its on a website somewhere. Boogered if I know where.

Google tells me
