Hi
Just joined after you lot being recommended on another forum.
My Passat Estate 'S' 100ps PD TDI has been with me from new on December 2001.
It is actually a 2002 spec with the ESP etc. Done over 98,000 miles now and apart from a new radiator and lots of tyres been pretty good to own.It seems to be pretty unusual in 'S' spec with steel wheels and 196/65 x 15 tyres.
Well it is my money and I hate kerbed alloys but tyres do seem to wear out fast - none have survived 14,000 miles and current ones are getting low at 11,000.
A great work horse for the tip run and camping in France each year.
Always smooth and confortable on long runs and can be entertaining on bends. Hence the tyre wear?
Gets 42mpg in winter overall and 44mpg at present.
