Had drove the car little while, then made a stop, cranked the car to leave and sounded like it was low on oil, that kind of. Tapping sound. Oil was fine. But the sound still there the next day. After driving it a mile or two. It got louder, then the check engine light came on. I stopped at the closest part store about 5 min after the light came on. They checked it with the scanner. Said it was a knock sensor code. P0328, bank 1. Took it to vw. To get a diagnosits done. And the man said it was due to a recall. The problem I was hearing, and the code. Was from the recalled part. They changed that part. Said it was a fuse panel on engine block. The problem was still the same. Then, he said it was not due to the recall. And I still had to pay the 120 dollar for the diagnostic. And said they would have to open the engine to check any further, and that the labor would be about 2000 dollars. I had took it by vw before it started to have any noticeable problems. When I had happened to look up recalls online. The man looked it up by my VIN. Told me there were 3 active recalls. But it would be another week before they could get to it. I asked if it would be ok to continue driving it, was any of them serious enough to not. He told me , no, that it would be fine to drive. Said specially since I wasent having any problems already .
