VW quality has been shit for decades. Having worked on most every brand of car, you couldn't give me a VW.
There's a meme about VWs that you can't get all lights to work simultaneously. There's always one that's out/dim, because their electrics suck.
An example of the nonsense they do: on one model the AC circuit had an ecu in the drivers door, which also controlled the door locks and windows. So if your door lock controller died, so did your AC.
No reason for this, there wasn't any automation between windows and AC. Just crappy VW design.
