This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Volkswagen dealer.
They will not warranty because they say its because of neglect. They say the oil was not changed right and the engine has engine sludge. I just bought the car 1-29-2009 and had inspection. Took the car in for another problem and engine noise and now have to pay for an engine or they say go back to where I bought it from. The person I bought it from says they bought it from VW leasing. Had many other problems - dome light not working two times, air bag light, wiper fluid not coming out, broken shifter trim, broken cup holder, broken ash tray, 19 codes in systems, ect.

I took car into dealership to have the problem fixed. However $1500 later, I still had original problem. They fixed three things and changed spark plugs. I sent them email's regarding my service experience & frustration and have not heard a word back.I even sent the owner of dealership a message via Facebook. Haven't heard a thing. After much studying myself, it appears my engine coil/s may be failing. Was wondering if there is a recall on these parts?
