Volkswagen recalls 290,000 diesel cars

Volkswagen recalled 290,000 diesel cars worldwide, due to fuel injection 
system problems that could lead to a fuel leakage, according to Reuters. 
The recall includes VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda cars equipped with 
dual-valve, 1.2, 1.4, and 1.9-liter engines, manufactured from March to 
August 2004.


In the US market, diesel fuel pumps that can potentially develop leaks 
will be replaced in an estimated 19,284 Golf, Jetta, Beetle and Passat 
vehicles. The recall is expected to begin in February 2005.

 Isn't that special. Those wouldn't be those TDI fuel pumps that are BD
 unfriendly would they ? It weren't broke but they just had to fix it

My question is whether the fixed pump will be biodiesel friendly, and
whether this fix will appear on new VWs.  My Beetle TDI will be going to
my daughter in about 9 months, and I will need a new form of
transportation.  At this point, my thinking is to get one of the famous
Mercedes wagons for a daily driver.  However, with a new baby on the way
and all, my significant other wants something modern and reliable to
drive, so I was thinking of another TDI for her vehicle.  If it ain't
going to be biodiesel friendly, though, I'll have to reconsider.
