Re: feel like crying....

That is insane, glad you got out ok apart from the damaged sustained to your dub. Christ if that had happened at motorway speeds with plenty of traffic around it could be whole other story. Lucky guy tbh

Re: Boot rust issue VW aware!!

I solved my rust woes by selling my B6 on nothing would make listers budge and VW UK said they would only offer 50% and it was up to the dealership to fund the rest I also had rust to the drivers wing it wound me up so much I just couldn't be bothered with them a paint depth check does not prove cor...

Re: What did you do to your Passat today?

Nothing thought about washing it but then saw the rust on the boot and wing and thought nah can't be bothered as the dirt is hiding it and if I see it anymore it will just me hate the car and VW even more.
