VWs have been good to me since I've been 16 yo. But maybe it's just a diesel thing.

And if you are complaining about the "retarded" parts cost, well maybe you are not bright enough to get away from the dealer. There are other very reasonably priced sources for OEM parts.

VW is known to bleed suckers dry. If all you need is a $100 turbo actuator, you'll get a whole $1000 turbo/manifold assembly. If all you need is a couple bucks worth of seals and an hour of time, you'll get a brand spanking new $2000 injection pump. And you can always count on a dealer to screw a timing belt job!
