2001 Volkswagen Golf review from United Arab Emirates
"The car is a heavy duty vehicle and of high quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS warning light turns on and off with no reason. ABS still works when warning light is on.
Interior plastic over the ashtray and doors is easily scratched.
Engine temperature exceeds the normal when exterior temperature exceeds 43 degrees centigrade.
General comments?
Think twice before doing any serious Manouvres.
