Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM IS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND THE INTAKE VALVES STUCK FROM EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILDUP. IT WAS REPLACED IN FEB 2011 AND NOW NEEDS REPLACING AGAIN. PROBLEM IS, NOW I'M OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND THE DEALER IS SAYING I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS MYSELF. THEY ALSO ADDED THAT THERE WAS ONLY A 1 YEAR WARRANTY FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WAS REPLACED IN FEB 2011. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND NO RECALL FROM VOLKSWAGEN. IF THE DECARBONIZATION HAD BEEN DONE WHEN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD BEEN REPLACED THE FIRST TIME, THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR
