Hi Guys,

new to VW. Just bought a Passat estate 1.9 diesel with 108k on the clock. Happy with the car as full main dealer service etc and drives well.

1st car with ABS and tried out to spectacular effect when I managed to avoid a taxi who pulled out in front of me in the wet doing 60, that got the heart racing i can tell you!!!

Any way seems from this forum that Passat's are prone to leaks and subsequent problems. Is there a comprehensive list of points that need to be looked at and a general idea of how to go about it for a relative novice.

Help appreciated.

Cheers
Ian

Good luck and best wishes

Thanks for this.
Have had a quick look at this info and it seems to explain a lot.

I guess I need a quiet weekend to get this done.

Thanks
again
