| 2002 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I HAVE A 2002 VW PASSAT. I HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE I BOUGHT IT, THE CONTROL ARMS GO, THE ENGINE COILS FAIL CONSTANTLY AND JUST RECENTLY MY LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID THIS MEANS THAT MY ENGINE IS SHOT. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND TRIED TO LOOK FOR USED PARTS AND IT TURNS OUT THAT WITH THE 1.8L TURBO PASSAT ENGINE THIS OCCURS VERY FREQUENTLY. NOW I AM STUCK PAYING ALMOST $11,000 FOR A CAR THAT I CANT EVEN DRIVE BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO COST ME NEARLY $5,000 TO FIX. I REALLY WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM TO BE LOOKED INTO AND I AM HIGHLY SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUE YET. *TR |
