[QUOTE="rod, post: 5487575, member: 5382"] Glad to hear you did ok by them. I bought a new VW fully optioned Passat for my wife in 2000. It turned out to be a nightmare about a week after the warrantee ran out (3 yr. 36,000 mile).. The dealer chased a check engine light to the tune of about $2,000 and never did solve the problem. I started out checking to make sure the gas cap was on properly but the dealer said that wasn't it and from there it went to new plugs (at 37,000 miles -unheard of and on and on after that. Pollution pumps, Co2 sensors, sending units. on an on. I got so pissed at my local dealer my wife forbid me to deal with them. She figured someone was going to die. I finally had enough and traded it for a new Honda Accord which ended being one of the BEST cars I've ever owned. The real pisser was about 6 months after I got rid of that POS VW I read they had a recall on them. The problem ------faulty gas caps were causing false check engine lights. [/QUOTE]
