1992 Volkswagen Passat GL review from North America
"Trouble"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
O2 sensor.
Fuel tank collapsed.
Fuel sending unit.
Wheel bearings.
Distributor.
Rotors.
AC leak.
Coolant leak.
Inner muffler.
Minor engine compartment fire.
General comments?
Great driving vehicle, but has a tendency to breakdown often. Not built for North American winters. Very sensitive car even with maintenance from VW dealerships. Components on the car are like dominoes, things start failing in succession. Will NEVER purchase a VW/Audi vehicle ever again.
