VW Looking Into 300,000 Cases Of Misassembled MQB Platform Based Vehicles

German carmaker Volkswagen is looking into the causes of water leakage into its flagship Golf model and played down a magazine report that described the problem as large-scale.

Germany's weekly Auto Bild reported on Thursday that the best-selling model of Europe's largest automaker is prone to leakage of water into the co-driver's footwell because of wrongly installed drainage tubes linked to air conditioning technology.

"We have come to know this issue through individual cases," a spokesman at Volkswagen's Wolfsburg-based headquarters told Reuters, saying the company was seeking to determine the cause.
