Gas Tank Woes.



What document?  Can someone send it to me?

VWoA practically laughed at me when I asked them to replace it again.
I even offered that I HAVE a new tank and if they would meet me
halfway on labor that would be good for me.

I have to pay half an hour labor to have it diagnosed.  Then it's
still 'prolly not.

fookers.  This will be the last vw I ever buy... erk!  WTF did I just say?!?

LOL
