"Outstanding all-rounder, pity about the reliability"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Wheel bearings shot when first purchased.

Sunroof mechanism broken.

Cooling problems with overheating even after cleaning out system (fan and thermostat working fine).

Transmission blew up $$$$$.

Aircon gave up failed.

Wouldn't idle properly.

Electric windows worked sometimes.

General comments?

Extreeeeemly economical to run 7-9 litres/100km.

Outstanding performance for a 2.0L, would kick down when doing 160km/hr.

Very roomy with huge legroom in the back and massive boot. More room than a Falcon or a Commodore.

Pitty I brought a lemon!

I've got a GT 16v which has caused me very few problems in the 20k miles I've done with it over the last year, new breaks for the MOT a couple of tyres and a blockage in the radiator are the only things that have cost me anything. I've got a s/s exhaust on mine and a k+n pannel filter along with a small modification to the ECU it now produces around 155 bhp and will get to 60 in under 9 seconds, but if you take it a little slower on my average jurney I get nearly 40MPG. A lot of car for the money. A more practical version of the Golf GTi and not much slower.

I have a 1991 VW Passat GT Wolfsburg Edition.

This is the most amazing car I have ever had, almost 150000km and still going strong!

I live in Switzerland and, unfortunately, I must part with my beautiful car for reasons of moving countries.

Would anybody be interested? ivansteenfeldt@yahoo.co.uk.
