My history with VW goes back to 1991, with a disposal of my BMW 2002, and getting on board a 1980 Passat diesel wagon, with a neck snapping 37 kilowatts of power. Quite a change, quite a change. Since then, the house has had a 79 mk1 Golf, 76 Audi Fox, and now a couple of 95 Golf 3 TDI's under it. Am currently still getting around in my second 1980 Passat diesel, but it's to be retired in the near future. So far I've messed around with just about all parts of these cars, finding workarounds for some of the not-so-good aspects to be found. All in all, though, they are certainly some of the best engineered machinery I've ever worked on! Its no wonder VW is commonly regarded as having one of the best car designs and diesel engines available.
And with the recent acquisition of the Golfs, I'll still be getting around with that roundel for some time to come.
Cheers from Tim.
