In all my years of buying, driving a car,.....this is the FIRST car that left me sit, helpless!!!!
The engine light came on with big letters STOP....low oil pressure. Turn engine off to avoid engine damage!!! Had it towed to garage where they flushed out the oil sludge....with BG PERFORMANCE SERVICE KIT(109, OIL FILTER & LUBE ON MARCH 1, 2017.
This happened all over again on Friday, April 21, 2017 just as I was almost home,....which I then drove it into my garage where it still sits. Had mechanic come look at it and thought it needed new engine.......but after research with VW repair man, Paul Whitemire, they want to replace oil pump and whatever else it may need next week, May 2, 2017.....if it is fixable.
I NEVER WAS NOTIFIED FROM VOLKSWAGEN COMPANY OF THIS "SLUDGE" PROBLEM ON THIS 2004 PASSAT WAGON TURBO THAT I HAD FROM MY ORIGINAL BUYER, MY DAUGHTER MARGARET BAROLO SPANKING BRAND NEW......I TOOK OVER THE PAYMENTS TO PUT IT IN MY NAME.
Thank you and hope you help solve my dilemma with this oil sludge problem. This is a disgusting disappointment for only 47,000 ORIGINAL miles on this Premium Volkswagen Passat.
