1996 Volkswagen Golf TDI CL review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent car, but after 5 years - starting to wear"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine Management System failure light came on - got us worried - only to be told it was not a biggy and easily fixed. Apart from that and the fact that the dealer (Caffyns) lost our service book for three months, the car has been absolutely brilliant.
General comments?
Handles brilliantly, lots of "oumph", and would not hesitate to buy another VW.
