What had been the problem came from the other guy home roost in the garage of author the other day I read this title at Autoweek.com. "VW to cover maintenance costs for sludge damaged engines". As you might have guessed, I am the owner of a VW Passat wagon, and Yes, it has 1.8T Turbo engine. Unfortunately I cannot take advantage of this news. You can, however, speak on the subject.
Under the proposed agreement VW and Audi were obliged to pay maintenance costs in a class-action lawsuit over sludge-damaged engines at VW and Audi models 479.768. According to court documents, the resolution affects models 1997-2004 Audi A4 and VW Passat 1998-2004 with turbocharged engines. 8 litres.
In 2002, I bought a 1998 VW Passat wagon used. He had about 30 kilometers of k at the moment. K 40 miles the engine coughed up a lung and stumbled on the side of the freeway Wheezing like a carp dying. When I took it to the VW dealers, poked around, advised the author that readily told me was my fault for using oil do not meet the standards. A year before the death of my turbo, went to Norman Taylor and associates. At the time, I was doing a search for the second book of Mr. Taylor, the standard reference guide lemon law.
I suggested then that the service writer was "less stringent in its assessment of defect". If you read between the lines, you probably understand, spoke with firmness and colorful, allowing him to understand correctly what I thought your assessment, personal habits and lineage. I also noticed that I was an engineer and that I would be grateful if he would stop the lies. To do this I had my lemon law materials in my hand. The service writer in an attempt to placate me, said he would discuss the situation with the Manager. This person came out to talk to me and said, because I was such a good customer — I hadn't anything — he would speak with the representative of the District of VW in my name. Ten minutes after he left his Office all smiles to tell me that VW had agreed to replace my turbo "sludged" and pay all costs.
I knew from my research of the California lemon law that this is what we call "Guarantee of secrecy". Best for VW pay for repairs that have me writing letters to NHTSA – The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If enough people did this, a recall for faulty Turbos and parts may have been issued and then VW would have known serious financial pain.
What can we learn from this? Dealers aren't always forthcoming about the real cause of defects. The threat of the lemon law is not always a deterrent for despicable behavior of manufacturers or distributors. However, he teaches in questioning what we say and do not hesitate to get advice from a lawyer, lemon law California.
