So, can anybody explain something to me. Last week I had to stay at my
mother's (ambulatory surgery), and she had a Consumer Report laying around.
Well, I read about VWs and that engine was about unreliability. I don't like
the magazine, to me they're biased (very). I do know my cousins '99 Golf 2.0
burns oil, but what is it about the 1.8T that gave CR such a low opinion
about it?
