VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008 Power Train Automatic Transmission Report #10275876

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 01, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . LURCHING AND JERKINESS FROM DEAD STOP IN BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE WITH A 2008 VW GTI. THIS IS A CONTINUAL PROBLEM PARTICULARLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM AND IN WARMER WEATHER. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE LURCHING, YET, BUT THE INABILITY TO PULL AWAY WHEN A LIGHT TURNS GREEN, AND THE INABILITY TO CONTROL THE ACCELERATION WHEN REVERSING IS LIKELY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SOON. THE GENERAL CONSENSUS ONLINE IS THAT THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SOME 2008 MECHATRONIC UNITS (ASSOCIATED WITH THIS CAR'S DSG TRANSMISSION), AND THAT REPLACEMENT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. BUT VW HAS, SO FAR, REFUSED TO REPLACE MY MECHATRONIC UNIT, ISSUE A RECALL, OR IN ANY WAY RECTIFY THE SITUATION. *TR.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WVWHV71KX8W. Volkswagen Gti 2008 problem was reported in BETHEL PARK, PA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 10, 2008.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES. HAVE MAJOR ISSUE WITH DSG AUTOMATIC TRANS OCCASIONALLY GOING INTO NEUTRAL WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND LOW SPEED JERKINESS (LIKE THE TRANS DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER IT SHOULD BE IN NEUTRAL OR 1ST/REVERSE) AFTER AT LEAST 15 MIN OF DRIVING. THE LOW SPEED JERKING ISSUE IS EASILY REPEATABLE BUT THE CAR NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN AT LEAST 15 MINUTES TO NOTICE IT. THE TRANS GOING INTO NEUTRAL ISSUE IS HARD TO REPRODUCE AS IT CAN HAPPEN RANDOMLY WITH UP TO 3-4 WEEKS IN BETWEEN OCCURRENCES, BUT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE CAR ROLLS TO A STOP, USUALLY LIFTING OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL, GIVING IT A FEW SECONDS BEFORE GIVING IT GAS AGAIN SEEMS TO BE ENOUGH FOR IT TO GO INTO GEAR. I'VE BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS. ALMOST GOT HIT BY A GARBAGE TRUCK ON THE WAY TO THE FIRST DEALER, WHEN THE TRANS WENT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE MERGING ONTO A BUSY STREET. LUCKILY IT WENT INTO GEAR JUST IN TIME. 1ST DEALER REPLACED A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR WHICH FIXED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BUT HAS NOT FIXED ANY OF THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. 2ND DEALER ADMITS IT'S THE TRANSMISSION, BUT SO FAR VW OF AMERICA HAS NOT APPROVED ANY PARTS REPLACEMENT. *TR.Mileage was 17900 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WVWHV71K58W. Volkswagen Gti 2008 problem was reported in JOLIET, IL. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 10, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . I OWN A 2008 VW GTI EQUIPPED WITH THE DSG TRANSMISSION. RECENTLY, I HAVE NOTICED PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND ITS DELIVERY OF POWER FROM THE ENGINE TO THE WHEELS OF MY CAR. WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SMOOTHLY AND PREDICTABLY DELIVER POWER TO THE CAR'S WHEELS. WHEN IN REVERSE, THE PROBLEM IS VERY NOTICEABLE. IT SURGES AND STOPS CONSTANTLY WHILE BACKING UP, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE SPEED AT WHICH YOU ARE BACKING UP. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR BUCKS AND SURGES FORWARD. THIS IS NOT AS DANGEROUS AS WHEN IN REVERSE, BUT IT IS STILL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. THERE ARE SEVERAL INTERNET FORUMS THAT ARE SHARING INFORMATION AND EXPERIENCES ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION AND ITS VARIOUS PROBLEMS. TO DATE, VW DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. I'M ADDING MY COMPLAINT TO THE OTHERS IN THE HOPES THAT SOMEONE WILL PUT PRESSURE ON VW TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THESE TRANSMISSIONS NEED TO BE SERIOUSLY LOOKED AT NATIONWIDE AND PERHAPS A RECALL STARTED IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUES WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND UNDERSTANDING. *TR.Mileage was 15000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WVWHV71K18W. Volkswagen Gti 2008 problem was reported in MANCHESTER, NH.

SOMETIMES IT SLAMS INTO GEAR VERY HARSHLY WITH EVEN THE LIGHTEST PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL. THIS HAS TAKEN ME BY SURPRISE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAREND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 11, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . I NOTICED MY "AUTOMATIC" DSG (DIRECT SHIFT GATE) TRANSMISSION TO BE ACTING UP. FROM A STOP UP TO 15 MPH IN 1ST GEAR AND REVERSE THE TRANSMISSION FELT VERY LURCHY AND HAD LOTS OF SURGING ASSOCIATED WITH ACCELERATION. IT COULD BE SIMULATED IN A "NORMAL" CAR BY TAPPING THE ACCELERATOR WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE INSTEAD OF SMOOTHLY PRESSING IT. IT WAS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE CAR'S OPERATING TEMPERATURE WAS HOT. IE: THE HOTTER IT WAS THE WORSE THE SYMPTOMS ARE. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR LONG ENOUGH TO HEAT THE CAR UP. IT'S DANGEROUS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE CAR DOESN'T GO, THEN I GIVE IT MORE GAS AND IT GOES TOO MUCH. I AM AFRAID I WILL REAR-END ANOTHER CAR SOMEDAY. REVERSE GEAR IS EVEN WORSE. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN PARKING THAT I DO NOT SMASH INTO ANOTHER CAR. THESE PROBLEMS ARE ALSO FOR SOME REASON AMPLIFIED WHEN ON ANY INCLINE. THE SECOND ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS THAT MAINLY WHEN THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE IS COLD THE CAR EXPERIENCES TROUBLE WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. NORMALLY UNDER HEAVY ACCELERATION, THE CAR CAN'T SEEM TO "FIND" 2ND GEAR. IT WILL SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR AND "HANG" IN A NEUTRAL POSITION WHERE NO POWER IS AVAILABLE TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD. APPROXIMATELY .5 - 1 SECONDS LATER, IT SHIFTS INTO SECOND GEAR. I WOULD HATE TO BE TRYING TO AVOID A COLLISION AND HAVE NO POWER AVAILABLE IF NEEDED TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. VOLKSWAGEN HAS TOLD ME THESE ISSUES ARE "NORMAL" AND THAT IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE SINCE THESE SYMPTOMS WERE NOT EVIDENT WHATSOEVER WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW 11 MONTHS AND 13 DAYS AGO. AS VOLKSWAGEN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM, I HOPE THE NHTSA CAN GRASP THEIR ATTENTION. *TR.Mileage was 15000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WVWFV71K18W.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008 car safety problem was reported on July 20, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . THE DSG TRANSMISSION ON MY 2008 VW GTI BEGAN ACTING UNPREDICTABLY ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. WHEN LIFTING OFF THE BRAKE AFTER COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO STALL, THE ENGINE RPM'S DROP VERY LOW (250RPM), AND THEN QUICKLY JUMP TO 750-1000RPM, FORCING THE CAR TO BUCK AND SURGE FORWARD. IN REVERSE, THE CAR BUCKS BACKWARD. THIS CREATES UNPREDICTABLE DRIVING CONDITIONS. I AM CONCERNED IT COULD CREATE AN ACCIDENT AT A STOP LIGHT OR OTHER INTERSECTION BY EITHER UNCONTROLLABLY SURGING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR BY BEING HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME AS THE CAR BUCKS FORWARD. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND THEY IDENTIFIED A FAULTY MECHATRONICS UNIT WHICH WOULD REQUIRE 3-4 WEEKS TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL THAT PART IS REPLACED AND WILL REMAIN IN THEIR POSSESSION UNTIL THAT TIME. *TR.Mileage was 18000 miles.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY 2008 VOLKSWAGEN GTI IT WAS A GREAT CAR, BUT SHORTLY AFTER THINGS STARTED TO CHANGE.

ONE INSTANCE OF THIS WAS WHEN I WAS TURNING ONTO A HIGHWAY (RIGHT ON RED) AND AFTER ACCELERATING AND THE CAR SHIFTING TO 2ND GEAR FROM 1ST THE CAR JUST PAUSED AND TOOK 3-4 SECONDS TO SHIFT AND LEFT ME THERE NOT ACCELERATING AND ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED. LUCKILY THERE DRIVER AVOIDED HITTING ME AND I WAS SAFE.

WITH ABOUT 4,000 MILES ON MY CAR I WAS PARKED ON A HILL GOING UPWARDS, I TURNED THE CAR ON ONLY TO FIND THAT IT WOULD GO INTO D, BUT NOT ENGAGE IN DRIVE AND I WOULD JUST DRIFT BACKWARDS. THEN I NOTICED "PRNDS" WAS FLASHING WHERE THE GEARS USUALLY ARE LOCATED ON THE MFD. I SHUT THE CAR OF AND TURNED IT BACK ON, EVERYTHING WORKED OUT FINE. THIS HAS OCCURRED ONE OTHER TIME, SAME EXACT SCENARIO, AT 15,000 MILES. ALSO, WHEN STARTING OUT OR SLOWING DOWN, NO MATTER WHAT GEAR I'M IN, MY CAR WILL SHUTTER VERY ROUGHLY. I TOOK A FEW PEOPLE FOR A RIDE, THEIR REACTION WAS "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?: AND "IS THAT NORMAL?" NOW I HAVE HAD MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ABOUT THIS, AND ALL THEY TELL ME IS THAT IT'S "NORMAL FOR THE DSG" AND I DON'T NEED TO WORRY. *TR.Mileage was 4000 miles. Volkswagen Gti 2008 problem was reported in HOOKSTOWN, PA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 01, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . DSG TRANSMISSION JUMPING OUT OF GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SLOW DRAMATICALLY. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP THERE IS A DELAY BETWEEN THROTTLE INPUT AND ACTUAL MOVEMENT. THE CAR WILL REV, AND THEN "LURCH" HEAVILY AND SUDDENLY FORWARD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS DUE TO THESE TWO PROBLEMS. SLOW SPEED "PARKING" MANEUVERS ARE ALSO DANGEROUS DUE TO A "SURGING" IN ACCELERATION, AND OCCASIONAL LAG IN GEAR SELECTION. THESE ISSUES ONLY APPEAR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS WARM. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUES TO VOLKSWAGEN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ONLY TO BE TOLD IT IS NORMAL, AND SENT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER 6 MONTHS. *TR.Mileage was 10000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WVWFV71K28W. Volkswagen Gti 2008 problem was reported in WINNIPEG, 00. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008 car safety problem was reported on July 15, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . PURCHASED A NEW 2008 VW GTI WITH THE DSG TRANSMISSION. AFTER 3 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, I NOTICED THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM: WHEN VEHICLE STARTS TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, VEHICLE SURGES BACK AND FORTH (JERKS) CONSTANTLY UNTIL YOU PICK UP SPEED THEN CONDITION GOES AWAY. THIS IS MORE PREVALENT WHEN ENGINE/TRANS IS HOT. ALSO CONDITION IS WORST WHEN VEHICLE STARTS TO MOVE WHEN GOING UPHILL OR INCLINES, IT WILL SURGE HARD AS IF TRYING TO DECIDE ON 1ST OR 2ND GEAR. I WANT TO REPORT THIS, BECAUSE ON SEVERAL INSTANCES, SPECIALLY WHEN SLOWLY APPLYING THE GAS TO CREEP UPHILL ALONG WITH TRAFFIC, MY VEHICLE HAS SURGED FORWARD HARD ENOUGH THAT I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME IF I HAD NOT AND REACTED QUICKLY TO THE JERKING SURGE. CONDITION ALSO PRESENTS WHEN DRIVING ON A LEVEL ROAD, BUT ITS MORE CONTROLLABLE THAN IN AN INCLINE. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN CREEPING OF GOING SLOWLY BELOW 1200RPM. I HAVE READ THAT THIS CONDITION AFFECTS THE DSG TRANSMISSION AND ITS MECHATRONICS UNIT IS PRONE TO FAILURE CAUSING THE SYMPTOMS I HAVE DESCRIBED. *TR.Mileage was 8600 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WVWHV71K78W. Volkswagen Gti 2008 problem was reported in CHULA VISTA, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

IT SEEMS AS THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION CAN NOT SLOWLY MOVE INTO 1ST GEAR. -THERE IS OFTEN A DELAY IN POWER WHEN "GETTING ON IT", THIS IS ESPECIALLY TROUBLESOME WHEN MAKING A MERGE ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN I NEED TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE. I WILL LITERALLY PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WILL EITHER REV AND NOT MOVE, OR SIMPLY STUTTER FOR 2-4 SECONDS. I AM SURPRISED I HAVEN'T BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS ALREADY. -BOTH IN DRIVE AND REVERSE THE CAR MAKES A BUCKING MOTION WHEN A CONSISTENT LIGHT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IS PUT ON THE ACCELERATOR. ALTHOUGH MY FOOT DOES NOT MOVE, THE ENGINE GOES INTO A CYCLE OF POWER SURGES. *TR.Volkswagen Gti 2008 problem was reported in NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2008.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2008, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with VISIBILITY . WHEN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ON IN THE SLOW CONSTANT (AKA 'LOW' OR IN THE VW OWNERS MANUAL "POSITION 2") AND I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE WIPERS STOP AND GO TO A LONG DELAY INTERVAL. ONCE I START MOVING AGAIN, THEY GO BACK TO 'NORMAL'. I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN IT IS RAINING HARD AS IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN AT STOPLIGHT, INTERSECTION ETC. IF I TURN THE WIPERS ON TO "HIGH" LEVER POSITION 3 THEY WILL WIPE CONSTANTLY, ALBEIT SLOWLY. THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER WHO SAYS THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THIS AND I HAVE CONTACTED VW WHO SAYS IT IS NORMAL AND CANNOT BE CHANGED. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND HOW SEMI-FUNCTIONAL WIPERS FOR A WINDSHIELD EVEN WHILE THE VEHICLE ISN'T MOVING COULD BE CONSIDERED NORMAL. HOW ELSE AM I TO MAKE SURE THERE ISN'T ANYTHING, OR ANYONE IN FRONT OF ME BEFORE I MOVE FORWARD. *TR.Mileage was 10 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WVWHV71K58W.

WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS I EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT OF THE FRONT LEFT TIRE WHEN AT VERY LOW SPEED (APPROX 5 MPH I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE. IN THE YEAR SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD THREE MORE TIRES GET LARGE BUBBLES IN THE SIDEWALL (INCLUDING TWO OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS) UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. I ALSO RESEARCHED THIS TIRE ON THE TIRE RACK WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT OUT OF APPROXIMATELY 45 REVIEWS OF THIS TIRE THERE WERE 18 COMPLAINTS OF EXACTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENING AND IN MOST OF THESE THEY ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE 3 OR 4 TIMES IN A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I HAD PURCHASED A TIRE WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR AND THEY HAVE PAID TO REPLACE THESE TIRES EACH TIME. SINCE THERE ARE ALMOST NO CASES SUCH AS THESE LISTED FOR ANY OTHER TIRE REVIEW ON THE TIRE RACK WEBSITE I NOW BELIEVE THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THIS PARTICULAR TIRE.

THE ENGINE CONSUMES 3-4 EXTRA QUARTS OF SYNTHETIC OIL BETWEEN 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGE INTERVALS AS INSTRUCTED BY MANUFACTURER. ITS A 2.0T ENGINE THAT USES SYNTHETIC OIL. I HAD PREVIOUS VERSION OF 1.8T AND IT DID NOT CONSUME ANY OIL AT ALL. IF THE OIL IS NOT ADDED, THE CAR WOULD TAKE 2-3 TIMES TO START UP (DOESN'T MATTER WHICH SEASON) AND ITS HORRIBLE ON GAS MILEAGE. WENT TO DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES ALREADY AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL CONSUMPTION. I INFORMED THAT I HAVE TO ADD OIL TO KEEP THE CAR GOING, THEY TOLD ME THAT ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM UNTIL THE ENGINE CEASES AT WHICH TIME THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. AS A CONSUMER, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP ON ADDING THE SYNTHETIC OIL. I THOUGHT THAT SYNTHETIC OIL IS HARD TO BREAK DOWN AND YES I USED THE RECOMMENDED GRADE. VW IS TAKING ME FOR A RIDE.

AUG 11TH I TURNED A CORNER IN MY 2008 VW GTI WITH ~29,8XX MILES ON THE ODOMETER, ACCELERATED BRISKLY IN 2ND GEAR AT APPROX 4000 RPM THE CAR BUCKED AND SHUDDERED AND LOST POWER. WHEN THE RPM'S DROPPED ABOUT 500RPM THE MOTOR REGAINED POWER UNTIL ABOUT 4000 RPM AND THEN THE CAR BUCKED, SHUDDERED AND LOST POWER AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AS LONG AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE WAS DEPRESSED. THIS HAPPENED IN EVERY GEAR. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ON A LONG FREEWAY ENTRANCE RAMP PRIOR TO MY ATTEMPT TO MERGE WITH FREEWAY TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE ECU HAD A LOW FUEL PRESSURE CODE. THIS APPARENTLY IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE CAM, HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND CAM FOLLOWER. APPARENTLY THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IS DRIVEN OFF THE CAM AND OVER TIME PUNCHES A HOLE IN THE CAM FOLLOWER AND THEN RIDES DIRECTLY ON THE CAM SHAFT CAUSING SCORING AND RESULTING IN THE FAILURE I EXPERIENCED. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED TO SEE THE OLD PARTS AS I WANTED TO ASCERTAIN THE AMOUNT OF METAL SHAVINGS THAT WERE NOW FLOATING AROUND IN MY ENGINE. FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY DID NOT SAVE THE PARTS AND SENT THEM BACK TO VW SINCE THIS REPAIR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. *TR.Mileage was 29874 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WVWHV71K58W.
