    Unhappy Bad empi axle

    Hello guys.

    I have a 2.5L 2008 automatic Jetta and I'm from Brazil. I decided to buy both axles for my car from RWI America and I'm having a bad experience.

    I took the car to the VW dealer and they did the job replacing both sides. After some miles the car started to shake and immediately I returned to VW. The diagnose was that the driver's side Axle is broken in the wheel connection.

    I was the lucky guy that received a bad part.

    I requested replacement but RWI said that they are not able to replace. They said that I have to buy a new one first and after request refund.

    This is not the right thing to do and I'm sharing it with you to inform that they seems to not be a serious company.

    My car has only 37500 miles.

    If I had known that this brand was bad I wouldn't have bought it. I should have bought the OEM and from another dealer. RWI never more!

    Ricardo.
