My 19 year old son put a transmission from a Mercedes in my Wolfsburg
without my knowledge.  Naturally tranny fluid spilled on the rug.  We
washed it, scrubbed it, hosed it down and I thought it was ok.  Looked
at it a few days later and the stain is back - any suggestions, or am I
stuck buying a new carpet?  

We have three pickups in our family - why my son chose to use my
Wolfsburg like a pickup I'll never know.

I buy several bottles of Rubbing Alcohol and just pour them on and scrub
them into the carpet. It gets the grease and brake fluid out and being
Alcohol I can just rinse the carpets with water from my garden hose.
I've never seen it remove any glue or harm the insulation.
