    Safety RECALL Altea TDI

    Hi All, Got a letter this morning saying my Altea 2.0TDI is subject to the recall concerning the bolts on the fuel pump cover so this does not appear to only effect older TDI's as had been thought elsewhere. My letter refers to the 'Checking of the Tandem Fuel Pump' whatever that bit is...
