1998 Volkswagen Passat SE review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Failed PDI (Pre delivery inspection) - new gearbox fitted. Rushed job.. 2 months later adjusted as neutral plane was mis-aligned.
Incorrect alarm factory fitted, not told about this, discovered after break-in!
General comments?
Smooth and reliable car with much refinement at an affordable price. Very pleased overall, superb 20K service interval and I have had NO problems save "new car syndrome" experienced many times before in the past.
