1986 Volkswagen Jetta TX 1.6

Summary:

Slow but at least you will get there without breaking down

Faults:

Mainly usual parts ie. brake discs etc.

CV joints seem weak.

Rear shocks have been changed.

Diff bearing went in the gearbox - ouch! Big bill.

Generally just plugs and oil changes every 6,000 miles keep it running well.

General Comments:

Has been very reliable car as I do many motorway miles. Not very fast but cruises OK.

No rust at all anywhere. Seems very tough although I do tend to replace things before they break.

Good car on the whole.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
