1998 Volkswagen Passat SE review from UK and Ireland
"Bliss!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air con hose split lost all gas...
Cam seal slightly leaking...
And two CV boots in one year..
General comments?
These cars are the muts nuts; this is my 5th Passat and always loved them for reliability and comfort.
I have all the diagnostic software, so I do mess with the electronics like retarding the timing for better mpg; not that it needs it, but still every little helps.
All I can say is get one; just make sure it's a 110 bhp and stay away from the later 115bhp PD engine, as these require a special oil, and if not used, it will wreck the engine...
