Volkswagen Group Ireland has initiated a recall of 2,112 cars with a specific 2.0-litre TDI engine due to scoring on the fuel pipes which can crack and leak diesel.

The cars affected are from 2009 onwards and customers are being contacted directly by Volkswagen Group Ireland. Models include some versions of the Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Passat, Skoda Octavia and Skoda Superb - all fitted with a 2.0-litre TDI common rail diesel engine. A small number of Audi A3 models are affected. No SEAT models or Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles are affected.

Customers will be contacted in the coming weeks with details of the repair programme which involves fitting a vibration absorbing damper to remove the risk of damage occurring. In the unlikely event of any damage having occurred this will be rectified. The minor recall work required is a "while-you-wait" service.
