Im 2nd owner, but all the recipts were kept.

HOWEVER. I'm 01.5 and I got the letter. So my guess is it goes out to all B5s

well i got the sluge removed, and it feels so strong, it no longer has a slugish start. so this is how awd feels like. lucky i did keep all the recipts for every oil related job, it rounded up to $657.95.

Default Does this apply to 2.8 ?

I have 1998.5 2.8, should i expect a letter, are 2.8's included in eligibility?

not sure if the 2.8 are included, mine just said "the 1.8t is prone to oil sludge do to poor oil services"

I am the second owner of mine however I am still in touch with the 1st. I got the letter about a month before him but have since given him all the records(he paid for the turbo to be rebuilt because of sludge and improper cooling of he turbo). He expects a full reimbursement of around 3xxx
