1994 Volkswagen Cabrio review from North America
"Fun car to own and drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cruise Control Module.
Drivers Side Power Window Motor.
Automatic Transmission (096 type) Valve Body High Gear Solenoid and Internal Wiring Harness.
General comments?
Great 2nd car if you have technical skills to fix problems yourself and can keep car offline for a few days hear and there while you fix it yourself, to avoid the incredibly expensive volkswagen dealer parts prices and service hourly rates.
Parts and shop manual CDs are available online at reasonable prices now, making it a fun car for do-it-yourselfers.
