"Lemon"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

- Check engine light keeps coming on.

- The tachometer stopped working all of a sudden.

- Replaced both oxygen sensors twice in the last 500km as they went bad.

- The catalytic converter was plugged up and replaced twice in the last 500km.

- Windshield wiper motor broke.

- The oil pump went bad.

- When it rains or is damp outside, the car runs very rough.

General comments?

I am a student and I purchased this car to get me back and fourth to school. When I got it had 136000 kilometers. It currently has 142000 kilometers on it and already all of this stuff has gone wrong with it. Some parts had to be replaced twice! All in a span of about 6000 kilometers that I have owned the car.

This car is a lemon never again will I buy another Volkswagen in my life. This car only goes from my house to the shop now. Hopefully I can sell it and get some of my money back.

I don't think that it is fair to call the vehicle a "lemon".

After all, you purchased it when it was 11 years old.

You blame the manufacturer for problems with an 11 year-old vehicle - that has no credibility with me. Sorry.
