If VW supplied vehicles to Ford, Ford's already astronomical service and parts prices would quadruple.
Have you ever priced motor oil for a VW? Amazon price for 5W-40, the oil I have to use in my 2016 Golf SportWagen is 8.66 per QUART, and that tiny 1.8L engine takes 6.
API SN/CF, ACEA A3/B4, BMW Longlife-01, MB-Approval 229.3, Porsche A40, Volkswagen 505 00/502 00
Now imagine what Ford would charge... Yowsa!!
Also, the brake fluid is EU specialty, as is many other fluids. Tranny? Ouch!
No more Fords for me, and after I sell this one, no more VWs (or any other EU vehicle) for me either!
