2002 Volkswagen Golf review from UK and Ireland
"I would advise people to steer clear of the VW Golf 2001, 2002 models due to their faulty coils"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
An engine coil needed to be replaced on the day I purchased it!
The stick and exhaust valve went in it the next day.
General comments?
The comfort-line golf has a very spacious and comfortable interior yet the exterior is rather too angular, resulting in a less attractive looking car than the earlier models.
My main reason for writing this review is to warn others of the engine problems that exist in the 2001 and 2002 VW golfs. VW may have offered to replace these coils for free yet since purchasing this new golf, I have lost confidence in the VW brand. A three year old car with low mileage should not be causing such numerous problems.
