1991 Volkswagen Caravelle GL review from Sweden
"Nice car, but expensive to keep"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump.
Petrol pump, twice.
Engine cooling thermostat.
Heater fan.
Door locks unreliable, especially rear door.
Gearbox broke after 230000 km.
Several other smaller problems, expensive to remedy.
General comments?
Very nice car, surprisingly comfortable and good to handle. Very suitable for longer trips.
Not so expensive to run, but not very reliable. Complicated design makes the car expensive to repair. Spares expensive.
