To empty your pockets!  That's what it did to mine.

I went through a few sets of cam seals and various other expensive bits, and
when the rear mail seal let go at 77k (and when VWoA overrode two
dealerships to inform me that a brother was NOT family for drive train
warranty purposes) that was enough.

I can't say how much I loved looking at that car and driving it wasn't
hateful either, with the 30v and a 5 speed manual tranny.  Every time I
drove it, I always wondered how much closer I was getting to the next
expensive breakdown.

What the hell was the intention of this front 4-arm suspension?!
