Ive owned my passat for one year and so far Ive replaced the heater core, Thermostat housing, Crack pipe, T stat, Rear wheel bearings, Headliner, Plug wires and plugs, Hoses and fuel filter. And it still needs Brakes, tires, tie rods, slave cycl, chains, and i still dfo not get anything hotter than like 75 degrees out of my heater.
It does have cool features like self changing oil and coolant though.
There isn't anything on this planet that would ever make me consider a Vw ever again. Ever. if it wasn't for the fact that my wife fucked me and got liability on it i would have set it ablaze or ran it into a tree for sure.
Im gonna do the tie rods, water pump, slave and get a tire on it then try to trade it for a jeep. while its still together. I cant knock shit off the list faster than it appears. I drove the entire way to work this am with no clutch and i just took last Friday off to do all that t stat shit.
Fuck this car.
