OT- Drooling at the VW dealer today

[krobins2@twcny.rr.com (Ken & Georgianna Robinson)]

I wouldn't be too quick to jump on the W8 wagon--someone reported to some
list that the Passat W8 requires partial engine disassembly to replace the
O2 sensor,with a $1500 bill.Granted,if you can pay $40K + for this car,it
may be of no consequence.However,I think that VW could have engineered this
one a little better.What's wrong with having it on the downpipe like it has
been?? Ken R.
