Re: bad start to passat life

Re: bad start to passat life

Like craalzy4alfa says, wear and tear and routine maintenance wont get covered, but your mechanical defecfs causing the limp mode andleaking seals should get rectified, regardless of warranty or not, the seller should put these right as you have only just bought the car. Im guessing youve got the 1...
