Sorry to drag up an older thread but I stumbled across this thread and it struck a chord as I have a BXE engine.
Did anyone get any further pursuing claims against VAG for remedial work?
Just a quick update to let anyone with the same problem know the solution. I had a roll of solder wire about 1-2mm thick which I carefully pushed down the drain, I felt a bit resistance at a couple of points so worked it back and forth to clear out the dirt. The water drains out just behind the...
