An open letter to VAG.

You're all a bunch of bastards.



Today the A6 decided would be a good day to have an inner CV joint begin to pack in. Which has meant that the Golf is now sitting in the workshop quietly glowering at me through neglect.


*Tomorrow* I will get the 1.8 out, swap all the bits and bobs to the 2.0 block and build it back up.

Fuxake.



Audi's only done 196k, bits are breaking already...



Dash is still nicely soft touch though.

So long as the soft touch dash is ok, I'll sleep ok.

Tell me again why having boring reliable fast jap cars is a bad thing.

Because they also come with the mandatory k**b driver and burberry baseball cap.

My boring reliable jap car came with a NYC baseball cap. Shows what you know.

Besides, if we all drove reliable cars we wouldn't be able to whinge about them.

Hmm, it's not a CV joint.. it's the dual mass flywheel. *Lovely*

Um, make that tomorrow. I've spent most of today trying to source a 2.0 Dizzy. Found one, but much harder work than I anticipated.

Need to buy a clutch as well, two if you include the Audi one - no point in not changing it if the bloody flywheel is coming off.

This much is true. Mmmm, squidgy.

Well whinging is the national sport. ; ) Surprised you don't all drive Jags.

"Drive" being the word here. Plenty of us have "owned" Jags.

Would like two XJ-S's taken into consideration.

Heh. That's a section on ebay I'm desperately trying to avoid.
