Got a Futura Yellow 2.8 V6 Passat last October / november with 76000 (ish) recorded miles. Went to book it in for 80k service as advised and mate in the service department advises me that my car had an 80000 service in 2001 imagine my suprise - according to dialogue the car had covered over 78k miles in 2001, so somehow between then and my ownership the Passat appeared to lose 2000 miles or more. From what I can tell the car has always belonged to the same family, it was stood up unused for a while. Maybe the clocks go back down if you dont use them often enough, or does maybe electircal faults or dampness thro being stood up cause this kind of thing?
