1998 Volkswagen Golf GT TDI review from UK and Ireland
"Very good all round car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake fluid leaking from the rear brake calipers (repaired by the VW Dealer, but only to leak again after 3 months).
Air inlet hose split.
General comments?
This car is a very good running economical diesel car with good performance.
However, the service I have received from the VW dealer in Aberdeen has been terrible.
