Common VW problems?

So after working for GM dealers for almost 10 yrs I have strayed away and now working for VW. I could tell you all the common prob’s with GM’s but I dont know sh*t about dubs. Like to get some knowledge on common VW probs/info to help me out.

Do you sell TDI’s there? I may need to visit :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m selling the 400E. It’s a 92 with 93k miles. Actually a pretty decent car.

Well then youll see more… IP pump issues, Bad Heads from snapped TB’s… cold start issues are IP/ or GP’s (glow plugs) but if there is GP problem youll get a CEL… Cruise is also an issue with the PD motor (newer TDI motor)… and the Dual Mass FLywheel SUCKS.

heated seat recall on the Passats sucks… do the seat out on the ground youll need your body wieght to pull the fabric back…
