Vw and Audi after 3 yrs old cannot buy one...wear and tear a lot and plastic parts plenty worst than jap cars....jap cars water tank coolant tank don’t leak within 3 yrs normally but vw one veri fast crack la if not leak etc....
Usage also a factor to these W&T parts. My neighbor owns a VW, Perhaps is low usage cos red car plate. 5 years old car. clocked 30+k km . Last heard replaced ABS sensors.
EO/ coolant/gear box fluids, all DIY.
