Description of the problem | Factory recall but original notification from dec-2015 had no resolve or date for resolve. However, when i contacted the vw factory they advised me i could go ahead and make an appointment to resolve at my own expense????? Vw claims something called the sintered cam has the potential to shear off from the camshaft. It sure sounds mechanical to me but vw claims to help correct the this defect they will update our on board computer software???? Huh....... We do not trust vw and wonder if there is another motive for wanting to access our on board computer????? Kinda like the diesel vehicles having tweeked software to deceive smog checks???? Help..... |
