Consumer Description

AT 83,000 MILES OUR VOLKSWAGEN JETTA TDI 2006 UTTERLY FAILED WITH A CAM SHAFT AND LIFTERS FAILURE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE JETTA. - VW REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. WITHIN 3000 MILES OF THE REPAIR THE TURBO WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED - MOST LIKELY FROM METAL FRAGMENTS IN THE OIL FROM THE CAM LIFTER PROBLEM. THEY DID NOTHING TO CLEAN THE SYSTEM WITH THE FIRST REPAIR - WHICH CLEARLY LED TO THE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE ON THE SECOND REPAIR. AGAIN VW REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. *TR
