hmmm quality. Meanwhile in the driveway sits a 1999 Primera, SR20 with 210,000km which has an engine bay cleaner than a new car, absolute no leaks at all.
Perhaps the Germans were inspired by the enginering departments of Britain

but we expect british cars to leak oil incar. Don't fix it!
I can guarantee 100% that the central underbody of my morry would never rust! The universals on the driveshaft were well oiled too! All automatic, British technology

German manufacturers should just go back to their business values when they actually made quality vehicles. They are worse than Toyota with regards to relying on reputation.

i agree, if you cant get it right go back to basics, my business partner in Europe just replaces the oil soaked spunges stapled to the under trays, clients dont wont engines stripped just to replace gaskets and seals which will leak again

Lol he tends to keep away from threads like these. And he has a habit of doing it for threads that show up his BS, like the Touareg thread that proved just how *cheap* they really are to repair and maintain, despite all his previous drivel stating otherwise.

ok that explains your picture collection. i also seen dents in the sump one one of the picture . you also might want to know that for a wof in switzerland for example no oil leaking what so ever . so i doubt this is a widspread issue or no one would own these cars in europe.
