#148 of 152 Re: EOS Water Leaks [bones66] by cadd2233 Oct 01, 2009 (6:24 pm)
Replying to: bones66 (Oct 01, 2009 1:55 pm) Thank for your tip. As of today, I only have 7,200 miles on this car, purchased March 08. I stop driving it because the smell is terrible. VW is working on getting me a new one, but they want over $2K from me for a Komfort model, because they no longer make my Turbo model in 09. I don't think I should have to pay the difference. What do you think? Replies to this message: jgjiffy (Oct 03, 2009 6:30 am) cadd2233 (Oct 03, 2009 8:16 am)

I would like to keep Eos, since I prefer FWD & manual trans in the snow. The only other complaint is the blind spot, which I don't think they'll change because the roof need the heavy support.
#151 of 152 Major Water Leak - from underneath by paul34b Oct 05, 2009 (8:33 am)
Well as nervous as I was when I purchased my 2008 EOS 18 months ago, I never had any leaks from above, meaning the roof area. My leaks came from under the car somewhere.   I had been smelling a moldy odor for a few months that got progressively worse until the end of July 09 so I brought my EOS in for an evaluation. My car was in the shop for over a week. VW did admit there were bad seals from the under-carriage area and water had been soaking under the carpets for some time. Interestingly enough the carpets were never wet to the touch. All carpets, matting and some new seals were replaced throughout the car and windows. No charge to me thank goodness. I did have a big problem but VW did remedy the issue. Oh yea aside from the moldy smell the interior windows would be fogged up every morning. That was another sign something was off. To date it looks like the issue has been solved. My car smells clean again and no moisture inside. It did take over a month to get rid of the moldy smell though.

Even after they removed the entire carpet and insulation, I can't ever get rid of the smell. I think seats are also a factor. Good luck to you. Beware of other electrical erosion/rust in the future.
