Don't like VW. Overpriced maintenance. Will never own one.

I have to agree...

Designed by wackos on crack and assembled by monkeys with robotic hands. Parts either snap together (and break during removal) or are assembled in such a manner that require proprietory tools and large does of lsd. Overly complex (all german cars are this way) with no real benefit. I hate working on them, MBs and BMWs too.

Good job on the purchase, especially the price!

Did an engine swap on an 99 Audi A4. Had me scratching my head at all of the house routings. Used 150hp B5 engine was $1100, and that seemed to be the average price when looking at Car-part.com. I get the water/oil cooled K03 Turbo. What I dont' get is just WHY they routed the coolant flows the way they did, so MANY T-fittings in there. And some of the harness plugs use the SAME connector both color/shape.

Between that and experience on fixing my Moms Cabriolet shoving my fingers into an operating turbo would be less painful.
