Hi all,
Some time ago I mentioned a feature in a Dutch magazine about a 1987 Audi
100tw, run as a company car with a difference. The objective of the guy
running this car was to take it up to 500K km (315K miles) because 'it was
too good to discard'. As the guy's company paid for everything, he had it
dealer serviced at astonishing cost.
So, for all of you irritated by high running costs and incompetent dealers,
I've translated this article and added the amounts paid. Reading this will
make you feel sorry for whoever's paying for all this and feel good about
your own bills.
Anyone needing their spirits lifted just drop me a line and I'll mail it to you.
Also a nice indication of what can go wrong with these cars.
Bye,
Tom.
PS I saw pictures of the new '97 Passat wagon recently. This is a
utilitarian square-back wagon that still manages to look nice!
