They leak oil almost as fast as you can add it, horrible fuel mileage for such a little miserable car, feels like a tin can, and nothing electrical works. Parts are also pretty expensive.
If its a 6 or R6 or whatever the heck they call their piss poor 6 banger just junk it. They are to hard to work on, I won't touch one. The way VW installs that motor into those little cars is just an abortion of a hack job. I can't beleive it came from Germany, and not some communist country. My dads friend junked a 1999 Passat with a 6 cylinder. Same reasons I junked the Jetta. Everything including all 4 window regulators and door locks was broke, nothing on the car worked, the tranny died, and it overheated. VW used a cheap little plastic T in the heater hoses thats a huge PITA to get at that cracked, so the engine overheated.
If you must have it its worth scrap value, and just junk it or sell it off to some sucker in a few months for $1k.
I refuse to pay more than scrap value for any running VW, I don't care if its brand new or 20 years old.
I can safely say I will never buy another VW product as long as I live, their is nothing good about these cars; truely horrible wreched little **** box's.
