2000 Volkswagen Jetta TDI review from North America
"Great performance and value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had several problems after 50,000 miles. First my passenger side front window actuator broke. I paid $300.00 to get this fixed.
Then at approximately 75,000 miles my drivers side window actuator broke. My dealer fixed this for me at no cost.
At 90,000 miles my check engine light came on and I was told that my glow plugs needed to be replaced.
I paid for this and after another 8,000 miles the check engine light came back on. After a few attempts this was fixed by replacing a wiring harness that had to do with glow plugs. This was done at no cost to me.
I do have a broken glove box door and a broken arm rest and a broken cup holder. All in all the large things have been taken care of at very little cost to myself.
General comments?
I am very pleased with my car. Volkswagen has taken care of me in all situations and my dealer Harpers Volkswagen, Knoxville, TN has been the greatest. I have always had my routine service completed by them and I think this is the reason for my satisfaction with their service department.
The car runs great and the seating is comfortable to be a small car.
I will be buying another one and would advice all buyers to use their dealer for service just as I have.
