Thoughts re new case files.
The disturbing thing is the vehicles are extremely carefully used by professional drivers that is unlikely to misfuel, and all fuel purchases are documented and available for audit.
Low mileage at initial failure suggest something real bad.
The question is, summer is coming --- could it be that if heat is related to failure, that a rash of failures is coming in August?
That --- is the question.
If there is not a rash of failures in the sample by Sept / Oct, then the heat hypothesis did not work.
Pump failure is cumulative.... there is a lag time from when damage starts to when the complete fuel failure occurs, in my observation. I'd summarize data based on a Dec 31st date.
What is the story on GM failures for these model years? Do they correspond also, or is it just based on Ford Data? I am still observing HPFP failures on TDI club now, in warm weather southern tier states... Florida, Texas, etc.
