G'day Felix. The breakdowns are more of the annoying, non-engine related variety - stuff like bits starting to fall off from the interior (eg the glovebox handle, the centre armrest lock, etc). I've been having an endless problem with the this engine check light coming on - apparently it's to do with the fuel injection and the emissions. They've tried to fix it three times over the past year and a half but every six months it'll come on and have to be reset/fixed. It doesn't affect driving, it's just annoying.
I got this car for $9K with 95K miles on the clock when I started my MBA - my first service with VW (the 100K one) cost me $1800!! Then I had a problem with the immobiliser which cost $1000. That's nearly a third of the purchase price. If the services are going to keep being like that I want to get rid of it and get something newer.
