    There's no harm in fair criticism, but to expect warranty coverage on a car that was 2-3 years out of warranty is unreasonable imho.

    But still.....if its out of warranty then you are paying for it and you expect the job to be done right!!

    Yes. Company I worked for paid all expenses on the car so always had it serviced on time. Maybe it was just unlucky and one of those things. Never had problems with the other VW's. With the history of VW reliability its just frustrating.

    That's unfortunate, you should have been the prime candidate for goodwill warranty.

    With all due respect to Foray, "it's never felt right since" is hardly an adequate description to be able to diagnose whether the job was done right or not.
