1994 Volkswagen Passat GLX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Purchased used with fault/overload in foglight's electric circuit. Slow leak in oil cooler. Can't prove it, but engine compartment shows signs of excessive grime residue .. perhaps some oil-related mishap?
General comments?
So far, so good. Recently purchased car w/ 47,000 mi. Even though it's a California model (stringent exhaust requirements), VR6 engine has plenty of power. Nice interior and amenities. Minor glitches mentioned above still need fixing, but so far very reliable.
