Fun to drive between repair shops
caro2012, 10/17/2012
2001 Volkswagen GTI GLS 1.8T 2dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 4A)
I bought my 2001 GTi with 25,000 miles on it and put another 105,000 miles on it over the course of 5 years.
While it was comfortable to drive and had nice styling, the car completely lacked reliability.
In the 5 years that I owned it, these are the things that broke or degraded prematurely:
PCV tubing
Ignition coils
Ignition coil wiring harness (degraded insulation)
Timing belt … (replaced at 50,000)
Clogged oil pick-up tube
Radiator fan (broke)
Coolant flange (degraded, leaked)
Drivers side seat belt clip (bad sensor)
Automatic transmission (failed at 100,000; rebuilt and failed again at 130,000)
Broken, leaking axle at 130,000
Leaking power steering pump
Cam tensioner
Belt tensioner
