| Description of the problem | Engine light came on after driving three miles in dry weather. After seeing recalls in china about water entering the air filter box and saw that the bottom . 25% was soaked. Saw many other touareg owners on forums with same problem. Dealer towed vehicle in and falsely claimed car was sitting in water. Reset the engine code and charged me $50+ for a new air filter and delivered the car back to me, with the engine light still on.
