2000 Volkswagen Golf TDI review from North America
"The car is good the dealer needs help!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil leaks after 45,000 mile timing belt
replacement.
Poor performance and shifting at 45,000
(550.00)
Check engine, Had to replace glow plug control box at 55,000 miles along with all filters. Still have performance and shifting problem. (500.00)
Check engine, Had to replace Glow plug wiring harness 65,000 miles.
Still having same problem as before.
Refused to take care not fixed plus
speedometer not working. (682.00)
Replaced Air Sensor this is supposed to have fixed the poor performance and
shifting problem, but I have not tested
car yet. (382.00) part only.
General comments?
High cost of general maintenance.
Very high turn over rate of ALL personel
at deal ship.
Auto technicians poorly trained.
Lots of room.
Good mileage up-to 45,000
Very quick up-to 45,000
Handles very well.
