Didn't get a recall notice but I did get an invite to a class action lawsuit in the mail yesterday. It brings new meaning to the phrase frivolous lawsuit.
Other posts have stated that VW has stopped that recall because some ECUs were destroyed.JB05 said:I got my notice yesterday, and like Nate said, I'm afraid that the dealer might attempt a GP recall which I don't want them to touch. OTOH, if they were willing to just give me the 5v GP's to install myself, I would consider taking my car in.
Same location for a 2003 Jetta?oilhammer said:Behind the rear bumper skin, same as always, I think.
Its not the carpet that needs to be replaced, its the padding underneath the carpet. That is the part that will keep getting worse & worse.hillbilly911 said:So is the "musty crayon smell" I have in my '02' New Beetle caused from these leaky or clogged drains? What do you think?
If so, I wonder if they would replace my carpet at the time I take it in to have them perform the modification to the drains.
I'm going to go with no on the crayon smell. I think all early MkIV's had that smell, even without sunroofs. I think the consensus on that was off-gassing from various plastics.hillbilly911 said:So is the "musty crayon smell" I have in my '02' New Beetle caused from these leaky or clogged drains?

And did you do the rest of it to? There's more to it than that.paramedick said:Customer stopped in today and asked me what this recall was about. I got out my medic shears and showed him........
