legend say scotty is still going
In order to be away from a leaking transmission, you must go with manual transmission. And be happy.
The last great Passat was the '04 turbo. It was 150,000 miles of fun until the oil pump failed. If I had the 3 grand at the time I could have swapped in an Audi A4 engine.
I always feel the reason why the vin with German cars start with a W because since the vin numbering dates back to the early 80s, I assume W stands for West Germany
Hey Scotty, how did you feel about those old 2.5 5 cylinders they had in the 2000s
2.0 TDI PD thankfully is not as unreliable as that thing.
Hey scotty I have a 2003 VW Passat 1.8T 5 speed manual bought it with 119,000 miles and I have put 10,000 miles on it but about 6 oe 7 months ago it check engine light came on. So I scanned it, came out to be a multiple cylinder misfires and lean bank 1. It has only misfired maybe three times in the past 6 months and it was a cold start the idle jumps about 400 rpms then back down. Also around this similar time cylinder misfires codes came on my car starting making this loud hissing sound when I accelerate, like its loosing air but when I check the engine I can't locate the hissing sound. Any thoughts on what the issue maybe and how to fix it?? Apart from these two problems the car is smooth , especially the 5 speed transmission.
Scotty, looking at you for all these years and being around germans, i'm startingvto get the hunch that you might have german ancestry
I have a 2013 2.5 SE Jetta. Bought it at 60k miles as a used fleet car. At almost 160k. 25-30 city 35-40 highway. Changed the oil every 3k and have only had to replace the radiator ( cracked plastic ). Keep up with the oil get the non turbo and put it in sport mode if your going to get on it and I’ve found there great cars.
I love my 2014 VW GLI with 288,000 miles. But my oil cooler needs replacement, blend door actuator replacement, radiator hose replacement and other things. German cars ARE more fun to drive, more planted. But VWs DO fall apart starting around 120K. Goal is a PORSCHE 911.
