My New Car E Series GTS Build Number 007

You'll get 800 for all four if you can. I say this coz my mate "johnkiz82" sold his for 800 all four. Guttered it at the Eminem/Lil Wayne concert.

I'll take it to the see if it's repairable tomorrow but for now I just don't want to look at the damn thing I'm so over repairing these damn wheels every time she gutter rashes them.
I've kicked her out of the drivers seat for now and she can just drive her new Passat, at least I couldn't care what she does to that euro piece of *^#@!!!!!!!:bang:

So she's done it before and you let her behind the wheel again?! LOL!!! I now have no sympathy for you at all. Your fault for letting the stupid woman behind the wheel, more than once!

And FWIW Passats aren't pieces of ****. They're actually a lot better built than HSVs but just don't go as hard.

You've no idea about Passat's then! As for her driving the car she had no option till last month as the POS had so many well know problems- leaking sunroof (one way drains are known bad design which were redesigned in later B5.5 models), body control module water damaged (leaking sunroof onto passenger floor well), leaking cam seal cap drips oil onto exhaust manifolds (which are a hit and miss fix from design even for dealers), noisy water pump bearing. And the fact it takes 2 weeks to get parts unless you like to pay $3400 from VW for a genuine flywheel which is available for $600 in the states (who knows why maybe because they can).
So don't preach about what you have looked into. Jump on the Passat forums and look at the issues they are exactly the same as every other car they issues which are caused by stupid designs.

So the wife was turning from a side road onto a service lane of the highway and miss judged the gap, needless to say I'm a little peeved!

How did she manage that?....there's no service lanes/highways in the kitchen?, take her in to holden and see if you can trade up to a newer model.

Looked into? Try living with my brother that OWNED ONE!!! They're great cars! His R36 was AMAZING quality. I'm not "preaching" anything. Just stating FACT. Been a member here and there's WAY less complaints about problems than there are on any Holden/Ford thread. It sucks that you got a car that's had problems, but it happens with EVERY manufacturer. It doesn't automatically mean the brand is a POS just because you think yours is.

 

[pjdm1980]

I'd disagree once again if you looked hard enough you see they have just about as many problems as GM and Ford, and not just the Passat. But I'm not here to argue how crap they are just that I'd never own another one, clearly their are good one or no one would buy them. Next time round I'm buying her a Mazda 3 or maybe a Ford Focus.
I'm off to get a quote.
