VW SHARAN - RELIABILITY

[ARTVIZ]

Greetings to everyone - some questions though - does anyone have reliable information on what the MOST LIKELY COMPONENTS ON A VW SHARAN (reg year 2009) ARE LIKELY TO FAIL AFTER 50,000 MILES?

 

Any comment would be appreciated - kindest regards

Hi Artviz,

We've had ours 3 years and 30,000 miles and so far nothing has failed. However the most common failure on 50k plus vehicles can be the EGR valve especially with lots of short trips. They are a complex water cooled item and expensive to replace.

Worth watching out for strange occurrences with the electric windows as the ECU is under the passenger seat and tends to fill up with water.
