#72 of 152 Re: EOS LEAKS: Is it really the year or is it just pot luck? [vwgrrrl] by deepc1 Mar 25, 2008 (4:34 am)
Replying to: vwgrrrl (Mar 22, 2008 6:40 pm) Well...I just picked up the Eos yesterday after 2 weeks in the dealership. I brought it home and leak tested it with a garden hose and guess what it leaked!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought that I should cycle the top and retest but the top would not go down, again! It was the little flap in the back getting stuck... this had just been fixed on the previous repair.   I took the car back to the dealer immediately and they verified that it was indeed leaking agin. They immediately offered to put me in a new Eos. I told them that I had filed for the lemon law and they knew it as VW had contacted them for the service records. The top did go down at the dealer though. I'm now waiting to hear from VW directly and see how they plan to resolve it.   I have a little racing expierence (SCCA ITA RX-7) and I think that all the problems stem from body rigidity. When it went in for the repair they adjusted the doors on the car. The hood also looks out of alignment and the flaps hang up. I can also hear the top clunk entering and leaving my driveway. Which all kind of point to the body flexing.   I drove the 1 series and it is a nice car and it is 34k but so is a well equipped Eos.

Replying to: vwgrrrl (Mar 21, 2008 5:49 pm) Don't believe the warranty assurance. At my first service (12 months / 10,000 miles) I asked for the roof to be looked at because it flexed and rattled (no leaks so far though). The dealer demanded a standard charge of £222 for a "diagnosis" before they would even look at it. I've since complained to VW who have replied that the "component" (that's the wizzy roof by the way) "can be influenced by driving style and external factors" and this "wear and tear" is only warranted for 6 months or 6,250 miles. After 3 phone calls and a letter received from VW they have still not been able to tell me where in the handbook this warranty limitation appears. In the service book the roof only gets looked at every 2 years / 20,000 miles so be prepared for big bills in the interim if anything goes wrong other than an obvious leak.

Replying to: vwnonwarranty (Mar 30, 2008 12:41 pm) Hi,   I solved my leak in the a-pillar.   Between the connection roof and the selenoid (drainage) is under pressure, by gluing the selenoid it will avoid this pressure and the leaking stopped for me...   Eddepet   also see http://forum.eos.crouze.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=330&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15 for photos">
#75 of 152 here we go again by koolkat4 Mar 31, 2008 (5:36 pm)
Here we go again - do I need an attorney to file for the "lemon" law? Once again my engine light is on, second time! Remember when I told you I had to get the back painted because every time the top went down it scrapped the paint off of the car; well now the paint has peeled off the side view mirrors! This was a brand new car and it has been in the shop more than it has been on the road. Is it just me and this lemon or has anyone else had any of these problems?

#76 of 152 Manufacturer's Date by vwgrrrl Apr 01, 2008 (5:22 pm)
Hello Fellow V-Dubbers,   Wondering if anyone here has a leaky 2008 EOS manufactured in 10/07? Dates are located inside the drivers door jam. I don't personally own an EOS but was considering it and saw one with that date and am wondering if anyone had problems. Thanks.

Replying to: just4fun1 (Oct 28, 2006 9:29 am) Honey, don't listen to them...where do I start. Since 9/07 I've had my eos in the dealers 8X (2=10 days each time), each time it leaked, the trunk latch kept locking as soon as you opened it, the radio high tones peter out, and now the windows go up and down on their own. I swear it's posessed. The last thing is the craziest. There's something wrong with the "brains" and no one can figure out what's wrong with it. One time the doors locked and I couldn't open them-with the opener or manually. I called Volkswagen roadside assistance but the guy couldn't move the car...he's strip the transmission. As we were standing there looking at the car we heard a click (the sound you hear from the locks when you put the car in drive). I tried the door and it opened. It's frustrating. I'm starting the lemon law documentation. I only have 8,000 miles on the car. I love my car and just want another (I must be crazy but), one that works.

Replying to: koolkat4 (Feb 19, 2008 8:58 pm) I had all the same problems (a recent post) but mine was that I had ice crystals on the INSIDE of my windshield and back window...just another thing to add.
#79 of 152 As if that wasn't enough! by koolkat4 Apr 11, 2008 (5:08 pm)
Have any of you had any transmission problems - just wait. I have been complaining to the service department for months about my transmission dragging, the car sliding backward on it's own and huge jumps forward. Each time they told me that there was nothing wrong with my transmission. Last week, after hitting the car in front of me, I sent my husband to take it back. He insisted on the mechanic taking a ride with him plus showed him the rear view mirror where all of the paint has washed off. The mechanic Finally admitted to a problem and said that he would repair it. They swore they had never seen a car where all of the paint washed off. They called me the next day and said that they sent pictures to headquarters and they were sending someone out to take a look; would I bring the car back in. Of course I would because guess what - the transmission is still acting up! Now they call me to say that there is a major problem with the transmission and they have to order the part from Germany and this will all take one month or more. Of course they gave me a loaner but I bought the EOS because I wanted a convertible - the loaner is a GT6 - not even a convertible. I have waited all winter for the day that I could let my roof down and what happens - I won't have the car back to enjoy the first warm days of spring. Boy - I hate I ever bought an EOS - I should have stuck with the Sebring!

Replying to: koolkat4 (Apr 11, 2008 5:08 pm) Has this problem been solved for the 2008 models? I couldn't tell if some of the more recent posts were for 2008s or earlier models? Replies to this message: lancelotlink (Apr 25, 2008 10:17 pm)

Replying to: muttonjavelin (Apr 25, 2008 5:24 pm) muttonjavelin, I'm driving a '07 Eos and it's been problem/leak free, and all winter it was parked outdoors in the Great Northwest. I'm sure (as with other makes) there are problem vehicles out there, and I hope those owners find relief. But typical of all forums, the unlucky few come to vent, most of us are too busy driving (with the wind in our hair).   ~Lash
