    Before you spend any money on repairs for this problem, check out the Class Action Suit in reference to the Enhanced Oil Sludge Warranty Extension for 2001-2004 VW Passats equipped with the 1.8l Turbo engine. You may be able to have your engine repaired at no charge. They do require that you take it to an authorized VW dealer, however. My son owns one of these and we just received the notification in the mail. It is dated 12/20/2010. Good luck!
