Our 1999 Passat with the 1.8 liter engine stalls repeatedly when decelerating, this is dangerous. We purchased the car new and had a problems before 20,000 miles. VW cannot diagnose this problem. I took VW to the BBB since they were very uncooperative in repairing this problem, and then they changed the throttle body. Then the problem went away for a few years and is now back and VW again refuses to replace the throttle body. The throttle body is obviously defective and they will not admit that there is a problem or fix it.
