If I was you, I would move on from VW, too.
UNFORTUNATELY AND SADLY... I SAY DITTO.
my wife and I both had 05's she a Passat and me the NB Jetta. I had constant first model years issus with the Jetta and thank god for this forum because I always had to tell vw what was common knowledge here.
wifes Passat 2.0 engine had issues in the high 40,000 mile range, chafing sound from front end, possible balance shaft chain? VW dealer called me said had low oil pressure but we never had any indicator light.
wear etc.... I had to bring in all my paperwork related to oil changes to prove they were
timely and with the correct oil.
They said they found a valve keeper in the oil pickup tube...I guess I had an extra part from the factory build?
anyway they put bin a remanufactured engine but the car was not the same. after that experience and knowing my jetta was probably facing cam issues, got rid of both. I did miss the ride, handling, fuel economy etc but with what seems to be constant issues with VW TDI,s was afraid to go back to VW or Audi. I missed my diesel for almost 4 years. I recently bought CPO 2012
MB E350 bluetec V6 with 400 ft lbs of torque. while not as small and nimble as my VW,s it is still fun to drive and oh..that diesel sound! get on it and she gets throaty!
I am hoping that I have good luck with it. yes, I bought an extended warranty because I know repairs at MB can be costly.
i hope vw steps up to the plate and helps their customers. from my pastvexperiencecwith trweo different dealers, one hadbawful service .no attention to detail and quality . The other was a little better and neither had product knowledge as far as service issues go.
