    Subject: Scirocco recall


    I want to check the fuel tank on my 1987 16V for the recall.
    The PO (2nd owner) was no help. The dealer that sold the car was no =
help. VWoA was no help but they did give me a reference number and told =
me to take it to the dealer.
    The dealer service manager ( not a bright one) told me she will =
order the tank and "bring the car in to replace it".
    the tank is not leaking. But i doubt the dealer will be able to test =
its integrity, they need a special tool that was loaned by VW to them =
back in 1991.
    I heard a lot of horror stories of stealership service and =
replacement of the fuel tank is bit tricky. Axle has to be dropped , =
dissconnect brake lines etc.. I don't want to pick up my car in bad =
shape, and definitely I am not paying for
    any replacement parts if they break anything.
    Anybody has any experience with this matter?
