Thanks for all the advice and links, and you'll be pleased to know... I ignored it. :lol:

Got myself a VW Jetta 2.0 tdi se. On a 07 plate with 65K on the clock. 6 speed with all mod cons. Very comfortable to drive, picks up nicely and handles the ground better than a Mondeo imo. Took it for a 30 minute test run around Preston and was getting between 44-46 mpg. Drove it home down the M6, and got a very satisfying 67.6mpg.

Congratulations. Now get on the phone to VW customer service and ask if your engine is subject to the Siemens piezo injector pump campaign

Just picked the car up after the campaign change. All four injector pumps were replaced (£600 each) and a new loom fitted. They even washed and valeted inside & out (it was like a skip this morning). Total cost, including labour & VAT = £0.00p

Returning home, a journey I regularly undertake, I noticed a marked improvement in performance, zero smoke even when booting it and fuel economy also seems to have improved slightly.

Cheers mate. The campaign only covers very specific chassis numbers but mine was one of them

Any idea what the specific chassis numbers are?

Is there some sort of regular fault that VW know about?

No, hence my suggestion you phone VW and give them your chassis number

I dare say so, I'm not the only one affected mate
