contacted VWoA. They offered to pay 50% only. Asked for more, they said no. 50 is best they would do. Dealer wants $2100 they say its the module, but want to replace module AND pump.....weird?? I talked to dealer and told them lets ONLY do module first. That's $1200 so out of pocket it will be $600. Think I'm gonna go that route and see what happens.
That's pretty good news for you, congrats! I don't know how a few of you other guys have been able to convince VW to pay for your repairs. I called VWoA and followed with a lengthy, descriptive letter. Their response was a regretful 'no' both times. I was, however, reassured that I would be notified if a recall came about...yay.
I am now about to lay out nearly $2000 for this replacement on such a young car. So now I have a few choices. I can leave the car alone, and hope I don't have an accident caused by ABS issues, and also pretend I didn't know about the problems if/when I sell the car. Or, I can try to fight VW on this. I am thinking about filing a complaint with NHTSA, which can be done right on their site. I wondered if any of you guys living in the states have done or would consider doing the same. Obviously if your cost has been covered, you'll have no interest in this, but I'm hoping there are enough owners whose costs haven't been covered.
You guys think there's any hope here? Or is there any hope in the hard reset thing?
Thanks.
