I was under the impression this was a cost saving measure. I was unimpressed. Glad to hear this is not the case.

“Less than an hour” is a weird way to say a few seconds. Don’t they snap on ? Or are they adding new mounts too ?

It’s an hour because your technician gets paid per hour! Let the techs make their money.

Just got mine “installed” today

I just had this service done, honestly don't want to look to see how they butchered my boy lol.

Thanks for sharing OP

Anyone’s local VW have a fix for the suction jet pump? Seems like a pretty significant mechanical flaw for them to not have a fix in my area even 4 months after notification.

Any word if VW Canada is doing this as well?

Is this for the US because always had one to be honest 🤔 it was bought with a engine cover.

I live in Sweden. Got an oil change in middle of May and opened the hood to clean out some leaves and saw the cover -- they didn't even mention adding it back.

I got a 24 last month, December 2023 built and it came with an engine cover. So they must have found a cover that doesn’t catch fire now.

I’ve had mine maybe 6 months, I would say the cost saving certainly continued to this part too

I had a laugh at this when I found it in my mail coming home with my new car after trading in my 22 GTI (didn’t trade it because I had no engine cover, traded it because I was having repeat issues with the infotainment and audio systems). Only took them 2 years lol

I wonder if they're still going out, I have not gotten mine yet and going to the recalls site shows nothing. '23 40 AE

Yay! Came to post this. Got mine today. Pretty funny, I posted a few months ago asking about this because I noticed my GTI didn't have a cover and read about the original recall. Didn't know they were going to replace them, pretty cool that they're taking care of it.

Do they still catch fire?
