| Description of the problem | I got my car repaired for this issue after smelling gas leakage before vw released the relevant recall campaign. I sent vw all receipt for repair paid by my pocket money, but vw refused to reimburse for my expense because i got it repaired too early. I did on 09/17/2014 but vw states that only the repair was done between 09/20/2016 and 03/19/2018. This is ridiculous answer. I am here attaching all the receipt and the letter from vw . Car is currently in motion after repair. |
