..And Then It Died...
Well, I had my 94' Jetta Gl 5 Years and not 1 Problem. Routine Maint and Oil Changes. From 50k to 106k it ran perfect, then one morning the transmission died and killed my Jetta, repairs would have been over 2,000.00, so I sold it for $750. Sad end to a great car!
It's an OK Car
I had this car over 15 years. It was built great, but would have major mechanical problems when any problems happened. I had two A/C units dropped into this vehicle and one transmission job done. Overall, it got me to work and back and was very dependable.
Consumer Rating
it is Excellent Vehicle in that period
Maintain Correctly and it will last
It's always been a great car. Everything on still works the way it did when it was brand new. I read these comments and sorry folks all these problems are created by trying to take the cheap way out in Preventative and scheduled maintenance. Tip for all you with trans woes, trans fluid breaks down just like oil, change it every 40K. Service it at the dealer they know best.
It was NightMare.!!
As soon as i got a used jetta, the oil pressure light came on very often. I fixed the oil pump and main bearings by paying 800, and then the head gasket may had been cracked by aging, which caused oil to leak out. it cost me 700. What a goodness.! After all, one day it started hesitating during acceleration. Gee, the fuel pump sounded like whining. it made me pay 400. Water got through the sunroof. Darn.! Next, a/c comp. was gone. It rendered me suffocated, and I spent 500 bucks. Finally, the engine would shut off by itself recently, so what I had to do was to sacrifice it. lots more. Highly not recommend this one for the poor like me.
