I hope you all will have a lot of fun with this new VW...

Thanks, yea the rims aren't my choice either!

I tried to get my Dad to get one of the bigger rims, but to be honest, none of the VW rims on offer were that nice. I it was my car, I may try R32 rims, but Dad doesn't seem to want to spend money on rims! Shame.

How are you getting on with the car?

It's previous gen. Passat, 1.9 TDI. Grey color.
He had some problems with turbine in the beggining (the turbine broke twice) - the car broke in Italy, but he got it repaired. Except of that, I can't say something bad about it. It really goes well, it's good for long destinations.

It's known that older VWs have had problems with turbine after 100,000 km...

Dom, was that the case by your father's car? After 100,000 km?

Sounds good, has the same engine as the golf then!

We haven't had any problems with the golf in the engine apart from the turbo going once, despite the car having done just over 180,000 miles!

I think it was even before 100,000 km. Reparation costed about 1500 € if I remember correctly. It's pretty cocky thing.

Hope that won't be a problem with newer VWs... Otherwise i might end up in jail, for setting the local dealership on fire...
