If you own or want to buy a VW, PLEASE check this link:

for owner problems with VW cars in general and with the terrible atitude of neglect on the part of the company. VW had a good reputation at one time, and is still trading on it, but they will screw an owner whenever possible. I have owned 3 VW's over the years and will never buy another.

Ours has been in the shop now for near 4 weeks - they cannot find what is wrong with it.
