Safety Recall on 2002 Passat

[davieb]

Recieved a letter today from VW UK stating that my 2002 Passat 1.8T SPort is subject to a safety recall as they have identified, and I quote "that some Passats have clogged plenum chamber water drains, which may cause water to leak into the passenger compartment and the brake servo unit"

I knew that this was a common issue on the Passats when I bought it, Google it and any number of things come up.

Seem a little strange to issue a recal now after all these years with these issues on the Passats

Obviously I will be taking it in for the car to be checked, anyone else had a similar letter??

Thanks davie.
I've just got a used 02 Passat. After all this rain, this evening my rear pass footwell was 'swimming.

Any chance you could copy the letter from VW on this site?

Cheers

Phone VWUK with your reg no' and they'll tell you if yours is part of the recall. Some are and some aren't evidently....

Have you got a number?

Thanks cazyp
I did phone my local dealer. He took the chassis number and said mine wasn't on the 'wanted' list.
