problem #2

Jun 062011

Passat GLS 1.8L Turbo

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

I bought the car second hand from a dealer, It worked great I drove it home the next day I went to start it and it was dead, We tried to boost it but it still wouldn't start. It has no power nothing you couldn't even roll up the windows or get the doors to unlock. I got it towed to the VW dealership because we though maybe it was a security feature and it locked the key out. However it's been two days and they can't figure the problem out and say there is no connection from the vehicles computer to the car so they will have to manually take it apart and try to see what's wrong....at 91$ a hour plus parts...
