The HP Fuel Pump on our 08 RRS TDV6 had to be replaced after spewing smoke and diesel all over the road. A firetruck came out, inspected and dumped sand over the diesel puddles before being towed to dealer. Bit dramatic, but apparently they must attend in the event of large oil leaks.

After getting the car back, I have noticed a subtle yet noticeable increase in idle vibration when trasmission is left in D when stopped. The vibration can be felt through the seats, steering wheel and strongest from the center console between the front seats. Shifting into N seems to lessen the vibrations, and I have started doing this at most light stops. Has anyone come across such a problem? The dealer had taken a look and said they can't fault the car.

Btw - if there are any Sydney TDV6 D3 or RRS owner who is available to help take a look and compare it with their own car I'd really appreciate it

No, it was never recalled for the fuel pump. While year of manufacture falls in with the recall, our VIN doesn't I don't know who determines these things but it's bloody obvious our car should have been recalled

I'd advise any TDV6 owner to drive straight to the dealer upon hearing a loud ticking sound coming from the engine.
