SUSPENSION:FRONT
THE FRONT END IS "CREAKY." THERE IS CONSIDERABLE NOISE, USUALLY WHEN TURNING. I SUSPECT THAT THE BUSHINGS IN THE MULTI-LINK FRONT SUSPENSION ARE WORN. I RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE FROM THE DEALER ON 7/18/2003 OF $1020 TO FIX IT. I CHOSE NOT TO FIX IT AT THAT TIME. OVER THE PAST YEAR I HAVE HEARD NUMEROUS STORIES OF PASSAT AND AUDI A4S THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM SO I WANT TO ADD ANOTHER COMPLAINT TO THE FILE. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2000 VW PASSAT 1.8T HAD FUEL LEAK. THE CAR HAD A FUEL LEAK IN THE GARAGE WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AFIRE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I DID SOME READING AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL. HOWEVER, THE VW DEALER CHARLES MAUND VOLKSWAGAN INDICATED THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL. *TR
