Replying to: dcolosimo (Oct 04, 2009 6:17 am) dcolosimo: Wow, what a horrible mess. I agree with altair4...get a second opinion from a either a good independent repair shop or another dealer. Sludging at 48k sounds pretty outrageous, and if VW-approved synth was used, then VW should definitely be covering this regardless of mileage...contact VW America to complain. I think the extended sludging warranty runs ten years if you are using the correct oil. And, why do they need to take the engine out to de-sludge? Is that the normal procedure for that? Good luck. vwdawg

Replying to: altair4 (Oct 04, 2009 3:48 pm) Thanks for your reply. The car was serviced by a VW dealer in Rochester, Ny since new. I purchased it from the original owner with a complete service history. Oil has always been approved synthetic and even when I changed it the shop used synthetic every 5000 miles. The original dealer is aprox 150 miles from me so the VW dealer I took it to is about 100 miles. I did call the original dealer 4 times and have yet to receive a call back. The codes I have are 16406 bank 2 cam adj adv, 16684 random misfire, 16689 cyl 5 misfire, 16690 cyl 6 misfire, 16691 cyl 7 misfire and 16692 cyl 8 misfire. The warranty company is Universal and they were highly reccommended but now I question that. I did call VW and open a complaint and ask for a QTM to be brought in since the dealer didn't seem to be too knowledgeable. I have not received a call back from VW yet either. I love this car but I am sorry I bought it. I am hoping the problem to be electrical or ignition or something other than the $8000 fix they said it might be. Anyone want to buy a mint W8 Passat? Any help would be appreciated.
