1999 Volkswagen Golf review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since 14/01/99 I have had to return my car on more than 12 occasions to first the dealer I purchased from and then to another dealer because I was not satisfied. A new throttle control unit and a new engine control unit, had to be fitted. The central locks were replaced on 3 occasions and have now gone again. At present I have no locks or rear wiper.
General comments?
My experience to date of the Golf and of the dealer from whom I purchased it from has been a nightmare. I am now seeking legal advice.
