2005 volkswagen Passat Estate reviews

Volkswagen Passat Estate SE New model 2.0lt TDI 140 2005

What a let down, the car had constant faults; Air bag light kept coming on, Broke down 3 times, Fuel pump, Fuel cooler, Software problems, engine emission flap failure £400 before the final death at 92000 miles when oil pump failed. Inchcape VW Bridgnorth were useless, the changed oil pump cost circa £1000 to do then they inform me engine is scrap. On inspection by another competent engine company Inchcape had put it together incorectly and damaged the crankshaft drive gear. I would be very careful of buying one with high milage unless you can change oil pumps and the turbo yourself otherwise expect big garage bills. Also I would not recommend Inchcape; their customer service is disgusting & service rubish.
