1993 Volkswagen Passat GLX review from North America
"Piece of crap to avoid at all costs!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went.
Heater core went.
Heated seats quit.
Sunroof leaks.
ABS sensor quit.
Fan control switches quit.
Auxillary water pump leaked.
Camshaft broke and engine is no more.
General comments?
When running this car is very peppy,handles well and is very comfortable.
Unfortunately the repairs far outweigh the happy running time. More has been spent on repairs than the car was worth.
