I bought the car on March 5, 2003 and after 2-3 days the engine light came on! I made more than several attempts to have the repairs done at lithia VW in reno, nv; and the only repairs half way done was the secondary air injection valve and hoses, but not the sai pump as well as the tumbler of the ignition. This is a lemon from day one and I have several proof of the problem even from dmv of Nevada in their dtc's which is the diagnostic trouble code descrition of P0411-secondary air injection system!!!!! no one will help me, and I bought the car to enjoy and to not worry of breaking down, but now.....it sits in the driveway....so the warranty won't be voided, and that my car doesn't get worse. I do have many documents to back this claim and the dealer-budget moters won't help, nor will the aul warrenty co. That I pay.
