2000 Volkswagen Passat Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Can't think"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas flow meter went the day after I picked it up, causing very poor performance. Fixed for free by dealer, but took 5 days.
57.000 miles. Front left upper & lower suspension arms rattling due to excessive wear causing bad vibrations through the whole car. Again fixed by garage for free, but took 4 days.
59.500ish miles "STOP" ABS fault consult manual starts flashing up on the display panal, £590 for ABS ecu to be repaired taking 7 days.
61.343 miles no power at all not even showing the clock or odometer, no remote central locking, not even a click when turning the ignition. The battery is working fine. I'm typing this whilst waiting for car to be collected.
General comments?
I really hate this car, I like the model though, I just hope this is a really bad example. Oh well suppose I better re-morgage the house for this one.
