THE IGNITION BROKE IN APRIL 2000 & WAS REPLACED BY DEALER. ON 9/1/2000, WHITE, ODORLESS SMOKE CAME FROM LEFT SIDE OF STEERING COLUMN. ON 9/18/2000, BROWN SMELLY SMOKE CAME FROM SAME AREA. CAR TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER KEPT FOR 3 DAYS, COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM, SAID CAR WAS SAFE. ON 9/24/2000, BROWN SMELLY SMOKE CAME FROM STEERING COLUMN ON 3 OCCASIONS. CAR TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER KEPT CAR FIVE DAYS, COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM. THE CAR IS NOW AT ANOTHER REPAIR PLACE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS DIRECTLY CAUSED BY THE IGNITION REPLACEMENT. VERY UNHAPPY WITH DEALER AND VW USA.

EXHAUST DOWN PIPE SHEID OUTSIDE LOOSE BOTTOM & TOP NEED TO BE "RECRIMED" (VW 7/24/00) VW DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT'S A MANAFACTURERS DEFECT BUT MY WARRANTY IS VOID "2 YEARS 24,000 MILES" THE OXYGEN SENSOR/GASKETS/FLEX PIPE ARE ALL EFFECTED TO DO THIS PROBLEM LEADING TO MANIFOLD PROBLEMS ? THE AUTOMOBILE IS 3 YEARS OLD WITH ALL ORIGINAL PARTS. NEW CAR WITH EXHAUST PROBLEMS? THIS PART WAS OF POOR QUALITY ON THE MANAFACTURERS END I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BY VW. *AK
