problem #2

2009Mar 18

Passat Turbo 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 47,000 miles

They will not warranty because they say its because of neglect. They say the oil was not changed right and the engine has engine sludge. I just bought the car 1-29-2009 and had inspection. Took the car in for another problem and engine noise and now have to pay for an engine or they say go back to where I bought it from. The person I bought it from says they bought it from VW leasing. Had many other problems - dome light not working two times, air bag light, wiper fluid not coming out, broken shifter trim, broken cup holder, broken ash tray, 19 codes in systems, ect.
