Is Volkswagen Reliability a Problem, or Just Perception? ~ Audio Podcast Episode 16
Do you think your VW is reliable? This is a question that I get a lot. “Should I buy a VW” “Are they good cars”. And while I would love to say flat out YES, I usually answer it with “it depends. Taking care of a car is a lot more work them people want to spend. This means many cars are poorly maintained. Owning a poorly maintained VW is not a good choice. Yet many VW are perfectly reliable after 157k miles.
I want this show to get you thinking about issues in a larger space. Look beyond that $1000 bill you just had to pay and evaluate the problems free of emotions.

I have a 2015 Tiguan that develop two li leaks. One from the camshaft girdle seal and the rear main seal. I am a little disappointed that after 12,000 miles I have these problems. It was covered under warranty and I wasn’t charged anything for the fix. Im still happy with the TIG but also a little disappointed.
