Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2003 vw passat wagon flooded during a rainstorm because the pollen filter seal failed. furthermore, because the comfort control module computer is mounted on the floor, that was damaged and the bill is significant. *tr my dealer's service department rep (boston vw) told me that he recommends cleaning leaves off the car 2 to 3 times per day in order to prevent this problem. that seems like an unreasonable maintenance requirement to prevent an issue that i've never seen previously with other cars.
