VOLKSWAGEN – never more. The HOT TIP, advertised by the Volkswagen company, is sometimes really HOT. My VW Passat 2.0 TDI Highline caught fire during the town driving and a big damage was avoided just thanks to my fast emergency intervention. The VW company states there was a construction fault, which caused the fire and which should have been eliminated during the recall campaign. According to the VW statement, this campaign was not carried out in accordance with the norm by the accredited car service in Germany, despite the fact that the action is stated in the service book. It is probably called the precise German solidity. The car was delivered to the car service in Slovakia on 18 November 2011. And what about VW? Despite all my appeals and demands, NOTHING has happened for 8 months. Because VW DAS AUTO.
