This is another completely different issue from the DSG and Diesel injector problems, although the insinuation and for me the take away is the frustration from another customer who has apparently tried multiple times to have an issue resolved without success.


To play devils advocate, if a may for a moment, when an intermittent problem presents itself without any error codes and the vehicles passes all tests in a workshop it's hard to "fix". Consider even if the dealer does see it and then something is repaired/replaced/tweaked in an effort to resolve the problem it may then pass tests only to fail again later.

Sadly this can turn into a game of he said/she said with a customer claiming an ongoing issue and the dealer saying it either can't replicate it or that it's been repaired and passed testing. Why would any maker replace/refund something if they can't see anything wrong with it?? This is where so called lemon laws could come into play for issues that just don't ever get resolved.


Not that any of this helps the consumer frustrated with a vehicle with issues that are seemingly never repaired, even more so if it leaves them off the road for an extended period without an courtesy car.
