3k bill after 69000 miles!! 55 2.0tdi se

[jazzert100]

Got my car back complete with 3k bill!! oil pump ,clutch ,turbocharger replaced don't know about the flywheel no mention of that.
Can you imagine if I was the owner,and had spent 18k on a car and had to spend 3 k to fix it with only 69 k on the clock.
I would be creating hell!!
I believe VW are making a major contribution to the bill.
This is my 5th VW and possibly the best car to drive but definately the most unreliable!!

Spent a few hours looking at the Vauxhall Insignia and it's looking good

Hi,

Mine has had so much warranty work, and some I have paid for I am dreading the warranty running out.
In the year I have had it has had 36 days off the road. I am currently looking at what options I have legally, I have also seen that used values have dropped through the floor, I wonder why??

Like you say a great car to drive, but totally unreliable

Hi,

At a rough guess I would say the credit crunch and cost of fuel has a lot to do with it.

Unfortunately big cars like the Passat will be particularly badly hit re residuals.
