2000 Volkswagen Passatrkstarkey, Citrus Heights, CA, June 19, 2010 14:31i bought this car from my Aunt and it is a cute and fun car to have but being 11yrs old it has a lot of issues. 158,000 miles on it now. Faulty ABS Module $925 repair - i'm not fixing that! Sunroof drains clogged and flooded the inside of my car, ruining the carpet - reimbursed by settlement for lawsuit $125 at VW dealership Upper control arm joint loose $250 repair Ignition coil replacement -idk what that's gonna cost me yet $450 hopefully less BAD oil leak! Needs valve cover gasket and tensioner seal; VW dealership wanted $650! yeah right... O2 Sensors need to be replaced $300 repair Back right window doesn't roll down but rolls up... My 6-disc CD changer went out but thank god for cassette tape adapters and ipods! Other than that I love the turbo and it's a nice car but not worth keeping for more than 6-8 years.EnthusiastFlag ThisLike | 2 people like this2

2000 Volkswagen Passatalmond_joy, Seattle, WA, August 02, 2009 20:35When I bought this, I thought I was getting a very nice car. The exterior and interior was what sold me. However, it has been a pain in my a@#. Not only does it have major electrical issues, it's also expensive to fix. It started with the ABS module failing on me while driving on the freeway. Imagine the horror I felt going 70 mph when all of a sudden, I hear a beeping noise and then blinking brakes lights. Ever since then, I've been haunted. When I got my car towed for an illegal parking, all kinds of noises have been going off - it sounds as if I'm driving with the car door open. Then, I have had to replace the clutch and flywheel because of the steep hills here in Seattle. Now, 3 days later, I replaced the alternator only to have a check engine and battery light come on. To be driving on the freeway and only being able to go 60-65 mph while gasing it all the way down is very troubling. I would only sell this car to someone I don't like. Anyone know how to get some money out of the cash guzzling junk?EnthusiastFlag ThisLike | 2 people like this2
