Only if you manage to put gas in the tank.
That is one of numerous causes, but the pumps are known to grenade even without a misfueling. A lot of enthusiasts recommend putting in some sort of additive to make up for the crap Diesel we have over here.
I was really interested in these, but done with cars that could and likely would bend me over and have there way with me.
When/If the pump grenades, they have to replace and/or flush the entire fuel system, cause it sends metal flakes/shards throughout the entire fuel system, from tank to injector.
Here is a pretty good thread on the issue: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=284441&page=140">http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.ph ... 1&page=140</a><!-- m -->
Im not saying it is definitely going to happen, cause some folks get 200k out of their TDIs, I am just saying be prepared.
