That isn't good, sorry to hear
Hope it is an isolated incident, VW are a very concientious manufacturer.

Mine just got a new engine.
After 8 weeks of it being in the dealer and 500km later the tailshaft fell off.
VW are discussing buying it back off me. The dealer is a clown. Passion fingers comes to mind.

Oh dear. VW aren't having a good run of late.
The fellow at the end of my street is trying to sell his. A Passat I think. No bites. Seems all the word of mouth about engine and transmission failures are to blame.
I hope they get all the recalls and poor customer service fixed soon.

Same here Mick, we have had hardly any calls on our passat that is up for sale, its such a nice car, and its not affected by any of the dramas the others have had, its just bad publicity that's made it hard to sell now. Guess we'll just keep it and trade it on a new work car.
I've had 3 late model vw's now, and not one drama, besides the injector recall on the passat which was no big deal. Unlike my other new cars I've purchased, problems with them all.
