2006 Volkswagen Jetta TDI review from North America
"I'm not happy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased my 2006 Jetta TDI in 2006. I have had every required maintenance/service performed on my vehicle.
I just completed the 80K mile tune up, which cost me $1,600 US dollars. 3 weeks later my clutch went out. It took 3 weeks of my repair shop ordering parts to find out that the 2006 Jetta TDI already has an upgraded clutch kit. Which to me indicates there are serious malfunction issues with clutches that were installed on 2006 TDI's.
I am looking for other owners that have experienced similar problems. Otherwise why would there be an upgrade for a clutch kit on a 2 year old car?? Advice anyone?? I am curious to know how many other owners are in the same boat as me.
General comments?
I am happy with my car's fuel efficiency, however the repair costs are fast becoming insurmountable! Help!!
