The car was taken to a dealership earlier this year becuase the ecu had fialed. Dealership also told me that my heater core needed to be replaced because a cloudy substance was entering the car through the vents along with a peculiar odor. The car runs extremely hot, although there is plenty of coolant. The inside of my dashboard is extremely hot. A friend told me that a recall was issued for this problem in vw's. A vw repair shop told me there was no such recall given my vin. I would like to know if there is a "secret warranty" for this.
