The engine was replaced at 32,000 miles, due to major oil loss and other fluids leaking into the oil.
The new engine leaks oil.
Rear brake calipers are bad, causing me to replace the pads early.
Driver side window does not work in the winter. Therefore, I either don't use it or I take it in for repair every year.
Hatch door doesn't always unlatch.
The interior door handles are peeling.
In very cold temperatures, the dashboard clicks like the turn signal is on, when its not.
It is a fun car to drive. Although, I am so sad that it was poorly engineered.
Thank God I bought the extended warranty.
I have had VW's for ten years, but no more. I am a Toyota lover now.
I had my engine replaced at around 30,000 miles. The water pump failed and caused the engine to overheat. The problem with these car are 2 things:
1. There is no engine temperature gauge, thus if probs occur, then its too late to notice.
2. The dealers are so unhelpful. They are not interested in your problem, they just want to sell you a new (overpriced) car.
