Reuters had access to a message published on Volkswagen's intranet site in which brand chief Thomas Schaefer admitted partial and early retirements are planned.
I had a 2013 VW CC and the EA888 wasn’t all that good for me. I had to spend $1400 one time to fix leaks everywhere, $700 on a new radiator bc the car would leak coolant like crazy, was leaking again after only a 2 years since the leak fixes, burnt oil, and my gas mileage was crap even though I had replaced all the ignition components, often ran fuel system cleaners, ran premium gas, and drove fairly slow/moderately. Plus the car had enough shit break that could only fixed at the dealer that I went japanese and traded it in

that was an older generation of the ea888, different from the mk7 and mk8
Makes sense lol I expected worse to be honest, I heard so many bad things about VW that I was fully counting on needing a few water pumps
