1999 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg review from North America
"The Jetta is a WONDERFUL automobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air Filter cage was compromised with debris.
The air filter itself is a little hard to get to.
General comments?
Nothing drastic has gone wrong with the car.
General maintenance has been done to it since I've owned it, and I've put a few new parts on, such as front and rear suspension, new front hubs, rotors, brakes, rear tire bearings. All of those were done at my own leasure, to spice the car up a bit.
New exhaust parts were put on mainly due to rusting out, but hey, it's got 181,000 miles on it.
The car still purs like a kitten and runs most excellently.
I've had only one problem with a window, it was the rear driver side, due to a bent bar inside the door.
Other than those, I haven't witnessed any other malfunctions as other customers have said.
This is an excellent car for a college student to have!
