2006 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon TDI review from North America

"Economical with an extended warranty only"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The first problem I had at about 40000 KM. Was the dual mass fly wheel separated on my vehicle.

At about 55000 KM, my clutch started to go and it was replaced.

Then at about 64000 KM, my clutch locking mechanism went and they had to rebuild the entire clutch system again.

Now at 88000 km ,the dual fly wheel has separated again for a second time. This time I hope the check every thing else.

General comments?

I bought my TDI because I do a lot of commuting to work, and most diesel engines are designed to run 24/7. But I have been have nothing but transmission problems with this vehicle.

Other than that, the only complaint I do have is the cost of the regular oil changes. But what I'm saving in fuel charges every month is almost making my car car payment as compared to my last gas car.
