Service costs, I've had Passat dsl and A4 dsl, they between service costs and break downs my heart was broke, I had a '97 406 put over 100,000 miles on it and bar service which I think was not bad and a rad where I hit a stone never off the road, Got one of the first 406 Hdi's and again 70,000 miles later and not a day off the road.
