2008 Volkswagen R32 Fuel system Problems

“I exited from a driveway at a riteaid to get to the light across the street, I have about 3/4 tank of gas and the odometer reads 175 miles, when I get to the my next destination, a drive thru, the fuel marker starts dropping fast and so does my odometer, it goes down to above 1/4 of a tank and my miles read 110 left, in a span of about 10-15 minutes. The vehicle was stationary in the drive thru except when moving”

“The car was experiencing hiccups while accelerating and would eventually smell and see gas escaping out from underneath the passenger side rear tire. Was taken to the dealer ship 3 times before for this and now I am told it is a faulty gas tank that was produced. I have been currently waiting about a month to have the tank repaired. All I have been told on this subject is we will contact you at the end of the business day tomorrow . Its always tomorrow. …”

“1) purchased the car and noticed the jumps twice on my way home. It has since continued to be an issue for the whole two weeks of my ownership. 2) accelerating from a full stop the car hesitates, hangs, and then jumps forward after a moment. This happens about half the time. I notice when I roll slowly ~5 MPH it does not hang or jump nearly as much or as often. 3) nothing has been done as of yet. I plan to take my 2008 vw R32 to the dealership to see what may be the cause.”

“The engine power of my 2008 vw R32 continued to cut out periodically for a few weeks, the cel never once came on. This problem persisted regardless of the weather or vehicle speed. One day while my wife was driving, she was stopped at a traffic signal and the car died, she restarted it and noticed a fuel odor. Since she was near my work (approx three miles) she restarted the car once she got there and turned off the car, fuel started leaking behind the right rear wheel.”

“My vehicle has stalled twice on me when it had 6647 miles. It occurred twice in a span of two hours. I was driving and the car started to hiccup . It jumps between shifts, this occurs mostly when it is humid outside. The vehicle also emits a loud ticking sound from the gas tank, and in extremely cold weather the gas needle bounces. Took it to the dealership 4 times and they found no problems, however they did take a joyride two of those times in the car. (found the radio station set and equalizer toyed with) in addition, the car sometimes smells like fuel.”
