| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2001 volkswagen passat needs a new engine because it is filled with sludge. after researching this on my own i found that this is a common problem with the 1.8t engine. vw issued an extended warranty on that engine provided the consumer can produce oil change receipts showing the car was maintained according to the owners manual. i sent them the proper receipts showing my car was maintained properly and they still denied me. my car only has about 43,000 miles on it and i just bought it 10 months ago. *jb |
