1999 Volkswagen Sharan Trend review from Belgium
"German lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Climatronic controller changed at 15000km (defective)
A/C condenser defective due to impact of a stone.
A/C evaporator defective at 25000km
A/C compresser defective at 90000km
Climatronic controller defective at 100000km
A/C evaporator defective at 120000km
Clutch defective from A/C compressor... it nearly set fire to the car!
Exhaust changed at 140000km (rusted, holes detected)
Suspension rubbers changed at 160000km (completely gone, weared out)
V belt of engine defective 170000km.
General comments?
The car has been driven in a proper manner... not like a F1 pilot.. but the overall quality of the components is low!
I will certainly never buy a VW product anymore... the official service center is very expensive, no parts on stock.. it is a complete disaster!
