Hi guys,

I'm a long term lurker, but first time poster after a little bit of advice. The story:

I bought my GTI new in August '08

From new it has leaked oil. It has been back 5 times, 4 to the dealer I bought it off and the last time it went to a different dealer. The last time went in on the 29th of December, and came back leaking. Every time I pick it up they tell me that it has been fixed.

I spoke to the dealer principal after the first couple of times, and I just get told to bring it back and they'll look into it.

I contacted Volkswagen Assist multiple times, all they say is that it's not their problem and to see a dealer.

I called them today and they said I can't drive the car because of the leak, and that it needs to be towed to a dealer. I called all the dealers withing driving distance and they are all booked out fo two weeks.

The car has been unroadworthy for most of the time that I've had it, and all I hear is "take it back to a dealer". In total it has spent over a month sitting in service centre's.

What are my options? Does anyone have any advice? Almost at my witts end
