Serious: Get rid of the car. You're in a situation where the various VW techs already don't believe you/cannot replicate the problem, so who knows how much it will cost to "fix", if they fix it in the first place.

Not serious: This is all very ironic.

We ALL know that all of the hot hatches threads are a cry for help. Seriously Serious.

But I thought you were already told by a tech that the video wouldn't do you any good unless they could replicate it themselves? Indisputable video or not, I still see the point the VW techs are making: if they can't see the symptoms, then they cannot diagnose the problem.

I guess I just view this as a cost/benefit scenario, with the costs likely outweighing the potential payoff.

Plus, it isn't really something to toy around with and potentially get killed in an intersection.

In unrelated auto advice news, don't buy a car you can't afford to fix. Someone I work with bought a BMW off her brother used that was pretty cheap and then the check engine light came on and it's going to cost more to fix than what she paid for it.

You need a new johnson rod.


I cannot offer anything except that I will view the video a few times.

I sincerely hope you don't die in a fire because of this issue. I'd take Ugie's advice and get a new automobile.

Who knows, maybe the video will help. I doubt that it will, but give it a shot.

I just don't know what the techs will be able to tell you, especially since neither you nor them can replicate the scenario on demand. More often that not they attribute this sort of thing to user error (unless, of course, it is a known issue).

That's your answer for everything...

Spanky said the same thing and than Ugie used his work and hasn't been really heard from since.

Muhfucka, then go pick up that jerk of a VW tech and drive his ass around that curve! Screw this "let's get the world to view my video on YouTube" revolution.

Go get your car fixed, dammit. Go. Right now.

Shit.

Look man, here's what you've told me:

- You know what gear the car needs to be in for it to occur

- You have a pretty good idea of the conditions needed for it to occur

- You have been able to replicate it AND video tape it at least once

And most importantly:

- You are concerned that it will occur and potentially kill your ass.

Here's what I would do if I were you. I would drive to the dealer one more time. I would speak to whatever service manager, dealership owner... whoever. I would tell them everything you just stated on this board, and let them know that you will file a major lawsuit against them if you ever get into an accident, because they won't be able to prove the car's transmission didn't cause the wreck.

If they still refuse to help you, then sell the car and get a different vehicle. Cut your losses.

Plead the fifth when it comes to the fam. I'm like a dog, I never speak, but I understand.
