1999 Passat engine seized due to a oil pump failure. The consumer had the oil leak repaired on 5 different occasions. The consumer had other problems with the vehicle such as a faulty drive shaft, right cv joint, the glove compartment latch, the control knob for the side view mirrors, the heater control unit, engine control unit, water pump seal rings, a power steering leak which was had to be fixed twice, the coolant pump, O-rings and the oil pump and pump rod bearings. There is a noise coming from the rear right wheel, oil is leaking from the valve covers.
Car has had tie rods replaced under a recall, both C.V.joints replaced plus a wheel bearing fixed which I had to pay for.don 't understand why these problems have came up so early in car service life.
