Hey all - I just got back from the dealership - I had brought my car in due to an oil leak. I was the last one to change the oil, so they told me if it was due to something I did, it wouldn't be covered under warranty (fair enough, I guess). Anyway, they brought me out to the car and showed me it was leaking from the oil plug, and said it wouldn't be covered under warranty since I did the last change. I told them to fix it (who knows - I thought maybe I stripped something) and they did, but on the description in the paperwork, it says "oil leaking from oil plug due to faulty oil seal", and they suggested I change the oil seal each time.
Here's my question - why the heck doesn't VW cover this repair under warranty? It says right in the description "faulty oil seal" - it doesn't say anywhere in the manual I need to replace that with each oil change, so I don't know why I just had to pay $102 (!) to have them replace it and top the oil off. Thanks!
