1993 Volkswagen Golf Diesel review from North America
"Terrible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 alternators.
2 door locks passenger side.
3 door locks driver side.
Rear view mirror.
2 fuel filters in a month.
Trunk lock cylinder.
Cheaply constructed dash.
General comments?
Parts for this vehicle were astronomical.
Service costs were equal to the parts.
All the instruments on the dash came apart because it was cheap plastic.
The area around the trunk lock cylinder was so rusted the cylinder fell out.
Great fuel economy.
0 to 60 in 10 minutes.
