jetta tdi
this has been one of the worst purchases I've ever made.Multiple breakdowns(wheel bearings,fuel injection pump,fuel heater) at29000 mi.on this piece of junk 2000 Jetta TDI
Jetta TDI
My only bad experiences have been due to a faulty air flow sensor and the dealer sold me on a bad extended warranty. Other than that the car has been mostly great. I do however have some reservations about the automatic transmission mated to the TDI because occasionally it does seem to really hunt for the proper gear.
Bring back the Rabbit!
What a huge disappointment this car has been. I've had it in the shop for the radio/stereo/CD player alone a minimum of a half dozen times (and they've never given me a loner). Now, just outside of the warranty (on a 3 year leased car mind you), my 'mass air flow system' (or something like that) goes. MD emissions thing? Anyway, $500 out of my pocket. VW of America's Customer Service sucks. Don't even try talking to them - they're useless. The whole reason I bought a new car is so I didn't have to spend my days in service department... What a disappointment!
Love the Mileage
Fantastic mileage with the diesel engine!!! Best in class. Problems: 1. The coolant sensor died @ 35000 miles & that is not covered by the warranty. 2. Clear coat on the hood is poor and is easily eaten away by dead bugs. 3. Passenger side door lock actuator does not always open all the way. Have been waiting for a replacement for 6 months.
unreliable dream car
I bought my TDI used with 20,000 miles on it. It now has 120,000 miles. The car is fun to drive and gets great gas mileage but that's all I can say good about it. I have had trouble with A/C 3 times, pwr windows, hardware falling off, engine immobilizer, light bulbs, radio reception, and ... The worst part is the quality of service. I have tried 3 different dealers. I've had 8 VW's over the years but this is the last one!!
