Hello,
at the 40K service the dealer put additives in my fuel and oil.
i called the dealer and they did swear that it was the correct thing to do, since i knew it was not i called VWOA and they said the dealer was wrong, that they will let the dealer know the correct procedure, and gave me a $150 gift check to re do the oil change.
Last saturday i brought my car to the same dealer again for the 50K service, and surprise surprise again i found additives in oil and fuel.
I talked face to face this time with my SA and he did swear it was the correct thing to do. I told him about the 40K service and still he didn't change his mind.
i went home and called VWOA again, they called me back yesterday after the investigation and said that the dealer said they will perform a free oil change if i would like to do so, plus they will give me a gift check to refill my tank.
i said that i don't want to go to that dealer nor any other dealer anymore, that i was unhappy, and asked for an extended warranty for powertrain and exhaust.
they refused to do so since the car is running fine and there are not evidence that there will be any damage to the car, and also because it was a dealer issue and not a car issue which is BS to me.
i asked then what will happen if i have a problem at 60,001 miles, and they said that they will take in consideration the use of those additives if something come up while out of warranty....sure...
I told the case manager i won't take my car to any dealer anymore after this, and he dare to ask why...unbelievable!!!
I'm really considering to sell the car at this point...what do you suggest???
