While I was driving the car started shaking and when I checked the oil there was no oil on the dipstick.no oil light came on and when I brought it to my mechanic he stated that the rear seal needed to be replaced. This car has only 120,000 miles on it when I called the VW dealer in saco Maine I was told that when it is repaired I should also has the pvb valve changed that it is now made out of a better material- he stated that it is a common problem with that specific motor that when the pvb valve puts too much pressure on the seal causing it to break but stated there is no warranty coverage or recall. It is an expensive repair as they need to completely remove the transmission.
The contact owns a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving at approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stalled and the engine warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart, but would only accelerate up to 30 mph. The contact stated that this was a recurring failure. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The technician diagnosed that the fuel sensors were defective and an oil change was needed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 94,000.
While entering a parking lot, parking space, after stopping completely, the car would not move when accelerator was lightly depressed, there was a 1 to 3 second delay, and then the car lunged forward crashing into the opposing parked vehicle, damaging the fronts of both vehicles. This hesitation was noted once before at about 3800 miles while entering a highway from a stop. Again, the hesitation was followed by a sudden lunge. Selling VW dealer said it sounded like a dsg trans problem, bring back fpr evaluation after its repaired. This unexpected surge problem is the direct cause of the accident. There should be a safety recall. Note: While this VW Jetta is 7 yrs old, it is not driven often as can be seen by less than 500-800 miles per year.
