1991 Volkswagen Passat GL Estate review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 98,000 miles the head gasket rotted due to previous owner not changing coolant regularly (despite main dealer servicing) resulting in skimming of head etc.
Heater controls only work on screen and feet due to plastic cogs on mechanism breaking up.
General comments?
Very happy apart from above. Regularly does 35 - 40 mpg. Sometimes more on a run.
Loads of space in the back (Dog loves it).
