I just traded my 2006 TDI , honestly I will never ever purchase another VW as long as I live. I was under the impresion when I purchsed this car it would out live any work vehicle— was I wrong, and still paying the price for it.
I had no problems while it was under the 3year warranty/ 100,000k’s
Shortly after that the A/C went approx $4000 after market , the Turbo went another $4000, then the clutch went approx $3000, then the turbo went about 14 months after another $4000 + other numerous things along the way
Speaking to other contractors they are experiencing similiar problems. I was under the impression with German technology would come reliabilty, the cost of repairs were just rude. ( the price of genuine parts were more again – as expected
Our Toyotas and Mazdas have done twice the amount of Kms and the cost of repairs are vey minimal
Never again VW

I have just traded my 2006 1.9 Caddy Life and feels good to have it gone. While it was fun to drive, economical, and the ideal size the reliability and cost of repairs killed it. When traded it needed about $4,000.00 of repairs – air conditioning didn’t work (2nd time) rear brakes, rear shock absorbers & CV joints all needed fixing and I had just spent $2,500.00 fixing the clutch (and that was the cheap single plate one) at 120,000km. Recently fixed the clutch on a Toyota (with 210,000km for $330.00.

The caddy maxi 1.9 Tdi manual excellent van I looked at many small vans. The build quality was so much better than the others available. The Caddy might be slight more expensive but it is worth the extra dollar. A brilliant diesel nothing else compares.
