Dip stick funnel - POS

[mikk]

vw should have used metal on the dipstick tube.

i used to think nissan was unrealiable (compared to toyota and mazda), but vw is less reliable than all 3 of those

Your joking yeah?

I suppose it depends on one's definition of reliable. If the car breaks down all the time because of failure in electronic or engine related parts, I would call that unreliable. If parts break all the time, it would be poor choice or material or poor design (very annoying but hope the mark 2 version fixes the problems). If parts wear down or break after a number of years, it would just be part of owning that particular type of car. Just my opionion.

The dipstick funnel was broken on my Mk3.5 when i bought it. It was <$5 from dealership spares IIRC. I also bought a few other minor parts (trim clips, etc) & they were all suprisingly cheap.

It was only when I started needing engine mounts, clutches, suspension & roof parts that things started getting to heart-attack prices.

My Nissan U13 Bluebird was the most reliable car I ever owned. My Gen2 Liberty didn't live up to the reputation of Gen2 Libs.
