mainer311 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 VW... good cars but expensive to fix if something goes wrong VW...bad cars and expensive to fix. Crap ass electricals. Their engines are okay I guess, but their electrical stuff is wholly retarded. I have a Bosch dishwasher and I want to kick it in the teeth every time I see it. 2 Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 VW is trying to say that the mechatronics and clutch are both gone (which apparently is not as likely to happen both at same time) and the dealership have put in a claim but no promises on which way that will go. Sister also being told it's $7k to go with a 2nd hand gearbox. She paid $17 k for the car so seems like a pretty fucked up proposition all round. She's getting this fixed and then they will be going with a Toyota. I bought a ‘16 tundra brand new...no regrets ! Love my Yota.... My Brother purchased a limited 02’ tundra with 242k on it...drives very well and lots of power.... his trans shifts smoother than mine ! 1 Quote Link to comment

VFR800 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 ^^^^^^ Thanks,I am sure my sister and brother in law are feeling very relieved right about now. That looks like a sweet as ride. Comfort etc is not an issue for any new car just all the complicated intricate electronics etc to keep the things running. 1 Quote Link to comment
