This one was done at the local VW dealership where they added 6L of VW oil and were nice enough to collect a sample of the oil for me to send off to Blackstone. The oil in this sample had higher quantities of wear metals present vs the 3rd sample, but that is to be expected as there were more than twice as many miles on the oil.
Pros: stellar report at 12,228
Cons: higher wear metals
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 12228 km
I had a 2009 Jetta diesel that used a bit of oil until it hit 60000 miles, then it stopped and did not use ANY between the 8000 mile intervals I used.
Pros: stopped oil consumption
Cons: used a bit of oil
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 60000 km
A friend installed a 2016 Golf R dynamic steering rack into my 2017 Alltrack S. Ready to go back under the car. Went from 2.8 (linear) to just less than 2 turns (variable) lock to lock. Got a chance to drive it hard and am super happy with this!
Pros: super happy, variable ratio
Cons: larger turning radius
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Starters don\u2019t generally \u201cslow down\u201d with age, really. You\u2019ll just find that one day it quits working. I had a failed starter on a 2002 Jetta, probably at around 290-300k miles
Pros: quits working suddenly
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 482803 km
My golf 2010 VW dashboard ****s down but car remains running. When it don't start take out the battery touch the two cables together with out the battery. For 15 seconds to reboot the car and it starts back.
Pros: reboot the car

After a week at the dealer for a throttle body replacement on my 24 Golf R ( flashing check engine, loss of power) the service advisor called and told me the engine needs to be replaced (at 9k miles!)

The new windshield sucked and had distortions in multiple places and around the edges. It was really inferior, irritating, and we never got used to it.
Cons: distortions, inferior quality

I own a VW Passat TDi. The repairs are just more expensive and so is the maintenance. Being European, there are more electrical issues. Also the reliability is lower (I am at 270k kms and my head gasket is gone).
Cons: expensive repairs, electrical issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 270000 km
