Description of the problem | I got a recall notice regarding the cam issue with this vehicle. They are tell me the fix is to change the software in the ecm. However doing so will change the timing on my car which will affect the performance, gas mileage and emission that my pzev car puts out. Vw refuses to give me a straight answer on what they are changing. I believe that said changes will cause my vechile to pollute more and get worse mileage as they must be adjusting the timing to change the amount of vacuum the cam shaft makes. |
