W8

I am considering a 2004 Passat W8. Anybody know how reliable they are or of any known problems? Thanx

there good cars, fast and nice. pretty spendy though, and bummer they dont make them anymore.

68,000 on my 2003 6 speed and loving it.

Thats because I DRIVE my car, not pussy about with it.. :grinyes: They can't be any less reliable than the 30V tensioners. Changed a few of those at work.
"What do you mean my engine won't be replaced under warranty ? So what I only changed my oil ONCE in 28,000 miles ?!?! A new engine and turbo are gonna cost me $8000 ?!?!?!" :lol2: :nono: :lol2:
