2005 Volkswagen Touran TDI review from UK and Ireland
"A defective car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 21,000 miles my car broke down and the dealership stated I needed a new clutch costing around £400 (not covered on warranty).
Now at 29,000 miles the car is registering a fault, the ABS control unit needs replacing, and this part alone will cost me £950.00 without the cost of labour. I was not told when I bought this car that every time something goes wrong, for me to have a correct diagnosis, I would have to go back to the dealership to have this done, and it would cost me around £88!
General comments?
Coating on the steering wheel is peeling off.
This car is of poor quality!
