Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1999 PASSAT WAGON (@ 84,000 MILE) AND HAVE HAD A BURING OIL SMELL FOR THE PAST 18 MONTHS (IT STARTED @ 60,00 MILE). IT HAS BEEN TO A FEW DEALERS NUMEROUS TIMES AND ALL THEY EVER TO IS REPLACE GASKETS. THEY HAVE ALSO REPLACED TURBO CHARGER, MAS AIR FLOW, AND EVERY POSSIBLE GASKET.*AK WE HAVE EVEN HAD THE VW REP INTO HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY WORKED ON IT - SAID THEY FOUND OTHER GASKETS - BUT IT STILL BURNS. IT IS WORSE WHEN IT SITS IDLE AND DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEH THE AC IS ON. I JUST GOT IT BACK FROM THE DELAER TWO DAYS AGO AND THE SMELL IS STILL THERE - OF COURSE ON THEIR INVOICE THEY CLAIM THE SMELL IS GONE. THEY ARE SUCH LIARS AND ALL THE SERIVCE PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO DO IS REPLACE PARTS. I HAVE DECIDED TO ACCESS THE LEMON LAW.
