Its a very nice car.
BUT parts are expensive, and its a nightmare to work on.
Don't even start about the fuel consumption  :grin:

Bet the petroleum share owners love you! lol

Thought parts would have been ok, what year is it? Mind you a aircon pump for my V5 was £600!

1998 4.2 ABZ.
It takes 7.5 litres of oil for a start, 4 brake pads per wheel on the front, timing belt needs 3 special tools and comes in several parts, its got the same front suspension as passat(4 control arms each side), gearbox takes special ATF which is 10 quid a litre and filler plug is underneath, the headgaskets list about a days labour to change....
I could go on and on and on  :grin:
Basically even doing simple service jobs takes ages, its the worst car i've ever worked on  :grin:
