Thanks for the kind words guys. I looked under the hood of the VW and scratched my head, WTF? This should be fun. At least I enjoy working on cars. And I do not believe there is a more unreliable car than a DII. I loved mine and will own another one day but man they are unreliable in a reliable kind of way.
The good news for you is that with the Passat, you won't need to open the hood other then for oil changes so you better find another hobby to take up your time.

Two words on the VW... "fuel injection" If any part of that fuel system fails, dump it. Too bad you didn't get a diesel, they last forever. One good thing about the VW is they're safe cars. When it comes to the cost of parts though, you'll think you still had a Rover!

I've got a VW Jetta TDI (Diesel) with 175K on the clock that has been a great runner (other than the tranny which the PO had rebuilt). To me it seems pretty straight forward and there is an endless amount of support online. I've known guys that have owned Pasaats and to my recollection they haven't had much trouble. Every model has it's weak (and strong) points. Anyway, good luck.
