To the post above... sounds like it could be related to the heat shield / cat recall recently announced by VW. I would bring it to your local VW dealer and have them check to see if it's related. Did you get a letter from VW re: the recall?
Dear Sir.
Thank you!!!
I'm looking at buying an '02 Passat and I'm sooooo tired of hearing everyone bemoan their supposedly shoddy VW... take care of it and it will take care of you!
Also, I actually printed your post to keep for future reference as this will be my 1st turbo and I did not know that the components would benefit from idling the car a bit before killing the engine.
Hi,
I own a 2000 VW GLX Passat. When the car is warm and I turn on the heater (air recycling is off) I smell strong burning oil inside the cabin. When I switched to air recycle the smell is gone after a while. I took it to the dealer and they told me a seal inside the engine is broken, and it will cost $1250 to replace. Can anybody share any info on this issue?
