2001 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"I love my Jetta!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have been extremely fortunate with this car.
Mass Airflow sensor at 70,000
Timing Belt and water pump at 95,000
Expansion Valve at 110,000

Coolant flange and hose leak, and clutch, hydraulics, and dual mass flywheel replacement at 143,000.
General comments?
I absolutely love my Jetta, and I would buy another one tomorrow. This car is fun to drive, handles beautifully in inclement weather, and is durable. At 143,000 miles, I am just now having to start put money into this car. And, the dealership has been wonderful about it. I drive a great deal for work, and I am at the dealership every couple of months for my oil changes. They know me by name, and are always courteous. When I had the coolant leak a couple of weeks ago, they unfortunately did not have one of the parts in. So, without hesitation, they gave me a rental car at no charge. I am now experiencing some problems with the clutch and hydraulics in the transmission. I really cannot complain though, as this is the first major repair I have made on this car. Take car of your Jetta, and it will take care of you :)
