#1887 of 2207 Service Issues by jpvwaudi Jun 03, 2004 (7:18 pm)
service issues aren't brand specific but rather dealership specific. If you encounter an incompetant service writer who incorrectly writes your repair order, how is the tech supposed to fix your car?   Communication is the key. Communication from the owner to the writer, the writer to the tech, and from VWoA to the dealers.

Replying to: spockcat (Jun 02, 2004 7:29 pm) there is a built in "margin of error" in consumer based gps systems for national security purposes. I believe the margin of error is still set at 15 feet.

#1891 of 2207 Service prices by username12345 Jun 08, 2004 (9:19 pm)
I recently took my V6 Touareg into my local VW dealership and was sort of floored at the price for the first tune up. The total came out to be $123.74. I asked why it was so expensive and they said it was the "computer work" and the complexity of the engine. I feel like its a scam as our passats tune up is about as cheap as a honda civic. Yes the Touareg is a pricier car and a bit more complex but it seems sort of unreal and am wondering what the next service will total up to.   Anyone care to list what they spend? Is this a Los Angeles rip off price? Replies to this message: panzer (Jun 09, 2004 8:13 am) kjw23 (Mar 23, 2005 12:28 pm) tayl0rd (Mar 23, 2005 12:49 pm) panzer (Mar 27, 2005 6:16 am)

Replying to: username12345 (Jun 08, 2004 9:19 pm) I noticed my dealer charges $90 for an oil change for the Touareg, because they use synthetic oil. Last time I looked, synthetic oil is $5 per quart. God only knows what the filter costs. I'm thinking of changing my own oil on the Touareg, if there is no adverse affect on the warrantee. I suspect there was no "tune-up," just an oil change. There is nothing to tune. Replies to this message: kjw23 (Mar 23, 2005 12:28 pm) tayl0rd (Mar 23, 2005 12:49 pm) panzer (Mar 27, 2005 6:16 am)
#1893 of 2207 Toureg problems & problems w/ my dealer's service by bcj2 Jun 10, 2004 (4:34 pm)
I previously posted the problem I had w/ the airbag light + my dealer's run-around to get it fixed. Well, 3 wks after the "fix", the airbag light is on again. . . and the tire pressure system is malfunctioning.   I took it to the dealer + told them I'll pick it up when it's fixed for good. I demanded a toureg loaner + the dealer refused for "insurance reasons." As a former insurance defense lawyer for 10 yrs, I have no idea what "insurance reasons" he is talking about, nor could he give me any specific reason. I called VW corporate + the best they could do is authorize me $60 day for a rental.   2 strikes on my toureg so far, 1 more + it's a lemon in Va. My wife is already looking at the Volvo XC90's again.   I do NOT recommend anyone spend $40,000+ on any VW product when the dealers have no idea how to provide service at a luxury car level.

#1895 of 2207 re: muffler by username12345 Jun 11, 2004 (9:33 pm)
Just wanted to recap after my experience with the dealer.   They said that all of the Touaregs are coming back with the spots on the Muffler.   Additionally, though I knew the solution from here, I asked if it could be cleaned. The Service guy said that it wouldnt help as its coming from the inside. I then asked if there was a warranty or recall deal and he said not yet. I just cant imagine how it will look or act in a year. It really loks like it will be a big hole by years end. Replies to this message: spockcat (Jun 23, 2004 4:28 pm)
