1998 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg Edition review from North America

Problem:Side strips came off.

Fixed: car glue! stopped gluing after the millionth time

Problem: Windows stopped working

Fixed: replacement of the Window Regulators (140 bux) its easy don't pay for it to be done! Just pay attention to how you take it out! 146,000 miles

Problem: Stopped running in the rain!!!

Fixed: Replaced cracked distributor cap make sure you replace spark plugs and wires at 153,000 miles

Problem: Vibrations when I turned and at slow speeds increased to all the time!

Fixed: broken CV axle shaft replaced (2/05) at 130,500 miles (needed both only did one (left) so far 10/07 two years later)

The only RECALL right rear wheel house liner replacement at 145,000

Replaced O2 sensor, tube for the windshield wiper fluid, and exhaust fixer uppers

Now I have as someone stated before a "sleep mode" transmission

Anyone have a fix on this one before my trans falls out???

I feel like I have a manual at times because I have to force my car to shift by letting off the gas.. HELP!!

My email is jlf6669@yahoo.com if anyone has a suggestion or a question about the problems I've encounter.

Thanks.

Overall, my Jet-TA has been awesome

I've been able to work on it myself

Regular maintenance is easy!

Fixing basic problems are easy.

Even after being in an accident (not my fault and the karma wheel turn) I've had dealable problems until the shifting problem.

At 160,200 I really couldn't complain

The only thing I wish was I had other VW crazies to tell me what to expect so now I'm passing on what I know hopefully it will help someone!
