So yeah, what is it VAG are renowned for? Reliability and build quality you say?

So yeah, just a word of warning really to anyone thinking of buying one - this was a 52 plate (not even 10 years old when it broke!), only 136k miles, Full VW dealer service history!
Thought I'd give y'all a laugh anyway.
*Btw, for anyone wanting to start a 'mass debate' about VAGs being shit - don't bother, this thread is for the lolz.
Cheers
Tom
