1993 VW Passat

I have always liked VW my first was a 1980 Rabbit, it always started and always got me where I wanted to go. Then I upgraded to a 1987 1.8 jetta four door, again I really enjoyed it. I traded it in for a 1993 Passat Diesel, I went through a dealer, huge mistake, Sunwest auto courtenay BC. I Got the 6 month warranty but after 1 month I noticed oil in the coolant, I went back to the dealers because I knew this could mean a blown head gasket, they patted me on the head and said it was all ok, that it was common with these cars.

Down the highway I went, last december in the snow, and sure enough it went.

When I finally brought it back to the dealer, they told me there was no warrenty and handed me a bill for $1000 bucks!

Long story short I only paid 40% but still I should not have had to.

My car? well the waterpump went last week, but I took it to another place to get it fixed. but my beef? how can you claim to have great german engineering and sell with an atitude like that, I know three others in this town that the excact same thing happened to them. I am very furious.
