Just bought a Jetta, tell me all about them
Actually my wife bought it. Its a loaded (which scares me) 2001 Jetta with the V6 and a 5 speed, and the thickest owners manual I've ever seen. The last VW I had used to have running boards (they rusted off), the only similarity is that the engine is over the drive wheels. Some questions are trouble spots and using synthetic oils. I did find service CD on the net I'll be getting to figure things out.
Her old car is terminal. I doubt it would pass smog when due next year, it needs a valve job, one cylinder stopped working, I suspect its the injector, and its loosing lots of oil out of the back of the engine, I suspect the rear seal. The car will move but its time to move on. I'm frustrated cause its just short or turning over to 200,000 miles. Anybody want a Peugeot? There's no rust.
