Passat Rline 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 83,888 miles

Bought this car in 2019 it had 35,000 miles on it, had it evaluated everything appeared ok I am now at 88+ thousand miles and noticed a leak from the area of the water pump housing area. This at 80+ thousand miles not 90 or 100,000 but 80, thousand. if I cannot fix this issue I will have to replace my engine. When there are Hyundai's lasting and having coverage of 100,000 miles. I thought that I would try Volkswagen and not lean to what I normally drive Toyota or Honda boy did I make a mistake. WV is not the manufacture that I want to deal with from now on they have just lost a customer and if any one asks me about my experience I will give them the full negative rant that I have.
