I just had a semi run over my VW passat. The car had 276,741 miles on it, there was a coolant leak that started at about 225,000 which was a flange made of plastic, and I need to replace the steering rack because one of the rubber boots tore and the cylinder was leaking steering fluid. Other than that it was awesome. I drove it like a race car. I changed the oil, and tires, rear brakes at 100K fronts at 200K. It was a manual trans. I did have a failure of the ABS module, but I think Bosch had more to do with that than VW. The only other issue was keeping headlights in it. They would go out randomly, some would last 25K miles others would last 75K. Didn't matter what brand, and I always used gloves to install.
