This VW Passat is officially crap! i hate it yes HATE IT.

Worst car iv ever owned!

Replaced the in tank pump and i still cant get the thing primed and now it turns out that the injection pump might be coded.

Its going to a diesel specialist during the week, will be up for sale pretty much as soon as i get it back tho.

Well its been in my mates mates garage for best part of 4 weeks, the pump that i bought is NBG so they sent my old one off to be fixed £550 + a days labour (not bad considering its been in there for so long) its looking like circa £1k to fix it, then i need to MOT it as that runs out in days.. this thing will be the death of me!
