This time nothing was covered by my Comprehensive Extended Warranty from VW!
If i am repairing my car with the VW, the total cost may be - min. £1.750.
My personal/privat engineer charged me - exactly £480.
A little different, do you?
My Verdict:
Big, comfortable and fast car for city / town,
good for motorway, with lot of extras,
but the Turbocharged Volkswagen FSI engine,
like all other engines with Turbo, is too sensitive,
the repairs are often (and very) expensive...
