VW · Polo

Owing to pressure pulsations occurring in the fuel lines and engine vibrations during operation, vibration may be transmitted to the diesel fuel filter cover. This may lead to a fatigue crack on the filter cover in the area of the inlet fitting and the possibility of a diesel fuel leak. This can lead to a traffic hazard.
