#85 of 152 EOS Another Hidden Feature by ideadesign May 14, 2008 (11:39 pm)
Final note. Found something today that no salesperson ever noted. When you lift the truck lid (boot), on the inside face below, there is a recess with straps; hidden from direct view. Again, I have not confirmed this, but it appears to be an umbrella holder (at least that is what I use if for and perfect fit) - nice feature. Replies to this message: cb391 (May 15, 2008 6:22 pm)

Replying to: ideadesign (May 14, 2008 11:28 pm) As I understand, silicone is not the prefered lubricant for Eos seals. Do a search and you'll find the stuff... I've got to get to work.

Replying to: lancelotlink (May 15, 2008 8:05 am) The stuff you're looking for is VW pt#G 052 172 A1. Also people have been using Krytox 105 which may be the same stuff but can be bought cheaper.

Replying to: cb391 (May 15, 2008 6:26 pm) You guys looking for help in curing water leaks through your EOS folding roof seals should find this helpful. It is a good guide to lubricating seals with the recommended lubricant. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3087297 My mother is interested in this car but I became concerned about all the water leak reports. This seems to reliably sort the problem. I think avoiding automatic car washes and pressure washers is wise with this car. Onwards for a test drive soon.

Replying to: koolkat4 (Feb 19, 2008 8:58 pm) I have had the same problem with my 2008 komfort. It is one of many I have been having. I took it in to the dealer twice and both times they said it was normal. The third I made the service manager ride with me and he agreed it was not working correctly. We came to the conclusion that around 1-3 miles an hour is when it is at it's worse. He is ordering a new part for my transmission, but the part can not be found anywhere in US, Germany, or Asia so who knows when it will be fixed. I have had the worst customer service with this company and agree I will not buy another car until it has been out on the market for a while, and I will definitely not buy another VW.

Replying to: koolkat4 (Apr 11, 2008 5:08 pm) Yes I did. They told me I was crazy. I put the gears in park and the car rolls...too much. The car jumps forward. They said it was the gas. I alsp had the condensation problem. It gets real bad. Have 2 more months before the lemon law does not apply...I want a new one. I must be crazy but I still like the car.

#94 of 152 water leak :-( by shdz Jul 30, 2008 (9:27 am)
I just bought a 2008 Eos on saturday (yes, only 5 days ago). Love the car!! But, had a bad rain storm last night and discovered small leak where hardtop meets rear driver side window (on the downslope part). Not too much water in the car, only a few drops, but I think it was just soaked up by the cloth that covers the inside of the hardtop. Took to dealer today, waiting on their response, but they said they've had complaints of leaks in other places of the hardtop, not in that spot (not being difficult, just commenting). All the posts on here are kinda scarring me.....hopefully this won't be a problem, as it is a great car!!. BTW, bought the car at Gunther in Coconut Creek, can anyone comment on their service dept. Customer service while buying car was great, hopefully it won't be a different experience once it's taken for repairs.
