I brought this car to the dealer for work on a leaking fuel tank and after much talking with the dealer and vw of america was able to convince the dealer that the work should be done under a recall (your campaign number either 91v201000 or 94v065000) the dealer also found that the internal fuel pump was bad and it was replaced at my cost. I contacted vw of america and they say that this does not fall under a recall yet i have a campaign number for this very thing that covers a more far reaching number of vehicles (87v053000). I would not be questioning vw of america on this but i probably went through 6 people before i found one individual who agreed that this should be fixed under a recall notice on the fuel tank. It seems i need to reach a certain level of personnel before any action that is satisfactory is done. Thanks in advance for any assistance.....
