Because they must be imported from Volkswagen’s facilities in Europe, the parts for the Passat are more expensive than those for a GM or Ford vehicle. This particularly applies to engines. 1.97 million engines are produced annually at Audi’s Gyor, Hungary, facility, where VW engines are manufactured. VW engine replacements typically cost between $4,500 and $8,000 (Bridwell Auto Center).
