My car began leaking gas recently. When i looked under the car i could see (and i have witnesses) that gas is running down the side of the gas tank when i fill the tank up. I found out from speaking to scirocco owners online that many experienced the same problem, and showed me the recall on the defective gas tank listed on nhtsa.Dot.Gov. I then took the car to a volkswagen (vw) dealer to inspect it. Rich at the vw dealer in burlington, nj looked at the bottom of the car said "the leak could be from anywhere since i see rust on the bottom of the car, i don't know exactly where the leak is coming from, but i replace everything under the car for $2100. I then notified vw usa about this problem and recall and asked them to remove and test the gas tank for leakage. Vw usa refuses to acknowledge a recall campaign on my vehicle, and they refuse to remove and test the gas tank for leakage, and replacement!! Please note: i have the memo that va sent to dealerships in 1991, and it clearly states what must be done to test and replace the gas tank. It includes removing the tank to test it and all the replacement parts that must be installed with this job. I will be glad to fax it to you for your records. The bottom line is that vw usa denies any responsibility or knowledge of this problem/recall and will not even remove, test and replace the gas tank, and i am in a very dangerous situation with gas leaking. My car can catch on fire or explode. I need help to resolve this issue as soon as possible as this is a serious danger to myself and others. Please help ! *la

I own 2 1987 vw sciroccos, both have had sudden and catostrophic transmission failure which completly destroyed the transmissions, both locked up on the road and nearly caused horrific accidents. This problem exists in several models with this type of transmission and has been ignored by vw and vwoa. This car also has a leaking fuel tank which i have tried to have repaired but the dealers refuse to even confirm the problem. I have been in contact with large groups of vw owners with these problems, and the results from dealer inspections or just complete lack of them due to the dealers not wanting to make the repairs. It is time to go after these people with the same swift action that was taken with firestone and ford before someone is killed. I am going back to the vw owners group and have them send you information as well. If there is an address where we can complain, please advise.

All three of these transmission failures cost me a total of $2700 due to the fact that 2 clips were taken out of the design. These two clips would have cost the mfgr about $0.50 or so and cost me alot more than that

The vw transmission, known as the 020, on the 16v models are garbage. Ring gear rivits shear and are punched through the housing destroying the unit completely. I have gone through five and have seen several other owners fall victom to this poorly manufactured part. Vw claims no responsibility and owners are left to fix their cars out of pocket.*ak

Dealer denied that the gas tank was defective and stated they were too busy and to come back in a week or more. Gas tank was indeed leaking fuel. Nlm

Circlips in transmission casing make the transmission grenade and have to be replaced.
