Engine And Engine Cooling
05/22/2000
I WAS TOLD BY VW THAT THE O2 SENSORS USE TO BE COVERED BY THE EMMISSIONS CONTROLS WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THESE PARTS WERE OF POOR QUALITY AND THAT VOLKSWAGEN SHOULD REIMBURSE ME. MY MECHANIC NOTED THAT O2 SENSOR FAILURE IS NOT UNCOMMON ON '97 & '98 GOLFS. IF SO, PLEASE CONSIDER INVESTIGATING FOR A RECALL. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A MANUFACTURER'S POOR QUALITY. *AK

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME IN THE RAIN AND APPARENTLY MY CAR'S ENGINE HYDROLOCKED BY SUCKING IN WATER THROUGH THE AIRBOX. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS DUE TO OUTSIDE THE NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND THAT MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT.

DEALER COMPLICATED ISSUE. REPAIR TECHNICIAN STATED TO SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT CLUTCH CABLE CAUSED PREMATURE CLUTCH FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REPAIRS TO PARTS THAT FALL INTO THE FIELD OF NORMAL MAINTAINENCE. THE REPAIR COST SHOULD BE PRORATED TO THE EXPECTED LIFETIME OF THE PART. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT VOLKSWAGEN CLAIMS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY CLUTCH FAILURE.
