Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Every other VW TDI owner that I have met has had to have the air-mass meter changed at between 40-60,000 miles. It is also at this point that the rear washer/wiper unit starts to leak and rodgers the central locking electrics.
Other
The brake light switch failed and set off the engine amanagement system warning light Waranty issues??

Used
