Antifreeze was leaking into the engine right after I bought it, but I have a feeling the mechanic I trusted didn't' tell me prior to me buying it in order to get the business.
I pretty much changed everything in the car except for engine and transmission.
When it drives, it drives like a dream, heavy German built automobile, I loved it. Don't trust anyone to repair your vw unless they are a dealer, I learned that the hard way, no one really knows vw's unless it's a dealer.
Too many glitches in the end before I gave it away.
Actually if you read a lot of the VW reviews here most owners say the opposite - stay away from the dealers at all costs as they are incapable of fixing the cars.
VWs have been in America for decades and there are many qualified mechanics who are both fanatic about the cars and willing to do whatever it takes to fix the car right the first time.
