1994 Volkswagen Passat CL review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap, but bland motoring!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear wheel bearing failed, causing brake to dismantle and wheel to become detached!
New rear shock absorbers at 98000 miles.
Front brake disks replaced at 100000 miles.
New battery. Would not start on cold winter morning.
General comments?
A very good car, and so cheap to run. Diesel engine does silly mpgs. I have managed 44 to 57mpg. The fuel tank is huge, and can do over 800 miles on the motorway at 70mph or so! Impressive for such a big girl!
The wheel falling off was worrying! If you hear it squeaking STOP! Everything else that has gone wrong is to be expected as it has done 100,000 miles.
There is no rust on the bodywork.
The interior feels solid, and the rear leg room is massive!
