View Full Version : Bad Passat!
Fed up with this car. Only had it 5 months.
Airbag fault warning occured whist driving sunday. Wont go off.
Emissions\workshop light on, disappears when battery unplugged, but returns again after 50 miles.
Think i'm gonna sell this thing and get a different make. If i wanted a car with problems, would have got a jag!:zx11:
We've had our 10year old Fiesta for 5 years with NO problems. Cant believe a Ford has outdone VW

If they are the only problems it seems a hurried decision. However if you've had ongoing problems with lights illuminating thats different. Have you had the car interrogated as to the cause?
Check your brake bulbs sounds like faulty bulb.

Cheers for the reply guys. I was having one of them days with the car!
Funny about a bulb may be gone. Somebody at work told me this morning that a brake light is out. Hope thats one niggle down.
As for the airbag, i haven't yet had it interrogated. Hoping that a diag and clear fault log is the only thing to do. I've checked the cables under the seats as I was moving them about whist cleaning the car out, but they seemed to be ok.
And as for jags being dogs!!! you'll be right. I had one a couple of years ago. Lots of faults, but then i did only pay £300 for it!
Mind you i did forget to mention that my drivers door window has stopped working. Sounds like it wants to and sometimes it does! That and the fact my aircon has got a lot warmer recently. Recharge!?
