2002 Volkswagen Jetta wagon TDI review from North America
"Will not be buying another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Strut Bearings, Both sides, Wheel bearings Both front wheels, Antenna. Corroded replaced, Timing belts Clean Intake Manifold, Brake Pads Front and rear Timing belt Pulley, Doors are clunky, Rear Hatch Switch and Lock doesn't work. Busted three oil pans due to low clearance. Tonight it won't start another trip to the dealer.
General comments?
You do save on fuel cost, but they are very high maintenance vehicles.
Like the drive feels like a big car good handling.
Good acceleration when it works.
Volkswagen needs to stop being cheap and put more quality and dependability into their vehicles.
This unit was approx 33000.00 can.
