I have a sister-in-law who is struggling to survive financially. She bought an 83 or 84 wasserboxer, new. And she has has to have the engine pulled TWICE to fix leaks or a failed pump. The thing still is quick to heat, she says. I had heard that Volkswagen of America was admitting to some sort of defect in these things. Is this true? Is there any chance she could get an adjustment? She paid $800 for the first fix. It sat for a year or two while she saved her money (she is a waitress, and she and her husband are raising seven young kids (from two marriages). Her husband works in construction and hurt his back and was out of work for a LONG time. In short, they need a break. Any advice on how I could help her? Robb@scsc.shasta.cc.ca.us
