1999 Volkswagen Passat TDi Sport Estate review from UK and Ireland
"A good car let down by indifferent dealers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine management warning - loose connection.
Seat belt not retracting.
Failure of the rear wiper.
Rear wiper starts working when it wants - VW dealer unable to find the fault. VW will not talk to individuals, only refer you to the dealer who still can't find the fault!
General comments?
Roomy motorway cruiser with good economy.
Nearest dealer 70 miles round trip away, but still will not order in parts for faults, merely investigates and then expects another visit to have the fault rectified.
5 visits due to the fault on the rear wiper which starts working without warning. Still not fixed.
