Electric window motor.
Almost a quarter million miles, and still runs with zest! Burns NO oil. Nothing replaced except 3 timing belts and a CV joint overhaul (normal maintenance).
Smooth, fast and perfectly balanced.
I have just purchased a 1986 VW Jetta GL from its original owner and it runs perfect. I agree with the review in that the only problen with the car is the back window motor has blown out. Otherwise it's awesome.
I drove an '86 Jetta this summer (all 10,000 miles of it), and up until recently I couldn't have been happier with it.
The car, at least on the outside, appeared to have just rolled out of the factory. Last weekend the steering started acting up and after a week of searching for the reason, we found today that the frame had broken...
Bye bye Jetta! The really strange thing about it is that the whole thing happened overnight with no apparent signs of provocation. Too bad, I guess...
