The VW mechanics had to clean the valves, they said it was because she did not use Top Tier gasoline. I hope everyone learns from this. It cost me $1200. Below are photos of the valves.

So $1200 to fix it
I did the numbers , and if you had paid for the gas yourself for 140000 miles at 25 miles /gallon = to 5600 gallons , X $0,35 different between ( TOP) tier BS , and the lower shelf gas = to $1680 savings - $1200 to fix the engine , you still ahead by $480
Just take those $480 and take your lady for a nice Valentines Day dinner
You will be surprised what that can do for the two of you !
