Goodbye and good luck!!!!!

Just want to thank you all for your advice over the last few years. I will be finally getting rid of my Passat on Friday when I get my new Insignia Sri Sports Tourer.

This Passat has been the most unreliable and poorly built car out of all my 15 cars!!

Problems/failures: Injectors, oil pump, steering lock, clutch issues, various EPB faults, various airbag faults, multiple electrical faults, suspension issues and being traded in with faulty ABS system and turbo on way out.
Build quality issues: Couple of paint blisters, poor finish to alloy wheels, squeaky/rattling dashboard, pealing leather on steering wheel, plastic coating coming off on various interior parts (door handles etc)......
I could go on and on and on.....ridiculous on a 2006 car with 107k miles and full VW service history. It’s always been well looked after and never thrashed or miss treated.
I have contacted VW on numerous occasions both during warranty period and since and they have been totally uninterested. Some things have been sorted but most I have had to fork out for myself.
My first and defiantly my LAST VW!!!!!!!!
(2006 VW Passat 2.0tdi (PD) Sport (140) with 107k miles and full VW service history. Myself and VW dealer as only owners)

Best of luck to all Passat B6 owners out there, your going to need it!!!
