Re: …Rain…
You know where. When my car needs servicing or an oil change the land where pink carnations bloom is the place to go, because there is a princess whose hands have a magical touch and she does not mind getting hot and dirty.
Re: …Rain…
ahem. :queen: what car is it?
Re: ...Rain...
Volkswagon Passat.
Re: …Rain…

Re: ...Rain...
Jetta?? How old are you?:)
Mine is a turbo diesel injection, so at least you don't have to change the spark plugs.
Re: …Rain…
it wasnt mY jetta. it was my bhabi’s. :halo:i was 14 back then. and that was approximately 4 years ago. 
do the math yourself. how’s diesel treating you?
Re: ...Rain...
I thought they stopped making jettas about 20 years ago.:)
I am into diesel nowadays. The performace is as good as petrol especially with VW, and I get a lot more MPG than petrol. Plus diesel engines are a lot more durable than petrol. They are simply built to last.
Re: ...Rain...
nope pal. it was a 2000. :)
Re: ...Rain...

Re: ...Rain...
how old was the car in 2000?
Re: ...Rain...

Re: ...Rain...
I do late 30's driving through central london to work and back. My average speed is about 10mph. I work about 10 miles away in another part of london and it takes me about an hour to get there.
Re: ...Rain...
maybe they kept making them in the U.S but I am sure they stopped making them in Europe a long time ago. I have to check that now.
Re: ...Rain...
my mpg on my 92 camry is 23. gas prices would kill me..but my abbu pays for it.
yea do check.
Re: ...Rain...
Just checked they stopped making it in Europe in 1991
Re: ...Rain...
wow. u know though - it wasnt a very stable car. always minor problems, which kept on coming up constantly. when did u get ur vW?
Re: ...Rain...
I bought my first Passat in 1999. I wanted to get something else but as soon as i saw the car I fell in love with it. It was love at first sight. I kept it for about 4 years. THe new Passat I bought only a few months ago.
I generally change my car once a year. I have driven a lot of cars but for some reason I love Passats. I had my previous Passat for 4 years and this Passat, I am planning to keep for a while as well. I think I would like to try a BMW next time. I think German cars are the best.
Re: …Rain…
you change cars every year?!?! why?
we had 2nd hand bmw for a while. never got to change its oil though. 
my abbu didnt like it much so we gave it back for an echo.
german cars, yeah they’re pretty good. i’ve only had the joys of toyota so far. once a corolla, and then a camry. 
seen a couple of passats on the road- i couldnt fall in love with it at first sight, but yeah, it looks agreeable.
do you do the maintenance yourself?
Re: ...Rain...
Probably built it at an American plant. America is not what it used to be:)
Re: …Rain…
Once I had my first Passat, other cars I have bought don’t come close. Your expectations are raised.
I am hopeless with anything technical. I have to take it to a garage, or if I am lucky my dad helps out or my younger brother:) they are more technical. I think I am more creative.
