1998 Volkswagen Passat Wagon review from North America

Too much.

Costly oil pump with even more costly labor. Included in this there was also the oil filter housing. $1500.

Sunroof, don't even bother getting it fixed because it will just fall apart once you replace it.

Timing belt, I don't talk about this anymore.

Blinkers stopped working, turned out to be the flasher and $100 later.

Locks, it started with not being able to lock the car from the drivers side door, now I can't unlock or lock from that or the hatch lock. I can only unlock or lock my car from the passenger side door.

Power window, I can't roll the driver side rear window up or down from the driver controls. BUT, I can roll it down with the child lock on from the back seat.

Tiptronic had to be replaced.

Now I can tell that the transmission is going and power, what power?

Last week the oil light started flashing again, which happened when the oil pump went, and the check engine light has come on.

I've taken this to numerous dealerships to be looked at for trade in and the most I can get for this vehicle is $2500. WOW, what a great investment.

Not only does this vehicle have major mechanical problems, the part cost is salt to the wound and the labor is a hot poker.

My '68 Volvo that starts on it's own runs better than this car.

Bottom line, I wouldn't sell this car to my worst enemy.
