1999 Volkswagen Jetta wolfsburg review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problems with my Jetta:
Rear left window regulator, I replaced this part myself. But now the power window motor blew... dealer price $300!! I'm waiting for one from a junk yard.
Driver's side window. Regulator problem. I talk to VW of US, they're replacing them on '98's and newer.
Sunroof. Won't slide open, but will tilt.
Check engine light. Air control problem. Engine runs fine.
Front right speaker has an intermittent contact.
General comments?
I just replace the brake pads for the 1st time at 70,000 miles!!
It's a great car, just kind of aggravating with these small problems. All of these things started to happen when my wife bought a Jeep Wrangler and I took her Jetta. I guess the car misses her!!
