2001 Volkswagen Passat review from North America
"Lousy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coils
Oil Pump at 62,000 miles
Entire engine at 72,000
I replaced 6 Headlamp bulbs (Same side)
General comments?
The car has some serious problems with the 1.8 engine. Once I have the latest repair done I am selling the car.
