2002 Volkswagen Passat review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am dealing with oil sludge problems as well as CV boot and motor mount issues. So far the dealer has paid for the oil sludge, but now wants to charge me $1600.00 for the motor mount, and $650.00 for the CV boot. This car has given me nothing but grief since the day I bought it.
The dealer says that the CV boot and motor mount is due to the age of the car... 7 years old! Give me a break!
