1998 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg review from North America
"Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything has gone wrong except the engine and transmission.
1) Windows, all regulators changes, 2 motors
2) Coil - replaced 4 times
3) Check engine light - Constantly on but always for a reason: Bad engineering! (I placed a square of black tape over the light, and now it's gone! For free!!!)
4) Radio volume button: goes up when you want it lower. Nice touch with the elderly and babies in the car...
I could go on and on, but I don't have a week.
General comments?
WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER VW IN MY LIFE, and I won't feel sorry when they do go out of business.
