problem #2

Nov 012006

Passat 2.0L T

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,000 miles

It has taken several years of complaints and trips to the dealership to work on this issue.

Being in Texas it was difficult to arrange a visit to the dealership for them to address the problem due to the temperature condition. This only happens when the temp is below 50 Degrees F.

I hope these "Re-Engineered bushings" do the trick.

(reported on)

Passat 2.0T

  • Automatic transmission
  • 7,000 miles

My car make cracking noise during cold weather when temp is around 40s and when I go over the bumps at 10 to 30MPH. VW service technician was unable to determine the cause. The noise is really annoying and I am scared if it leads to something major issue.
