general problems of the 1996 Volkswagen Golf

With less than a year of purchase, the vehicle would leak inside on floor on passenger side. Twice taken to dealer for repair. Car was taken in due to engine check light not turning off, and was wrongly diagnosed and therefore wrong part was fixed. When complaint was made that the light continued to light up, the car was once again taken in and throttle body was to be changed. Vehicle now makes a loud noice which was diagnosed to be an engine block.

Check engine light on constantly, failed oxygen sensor twice. Door lock literally fell out of door and left hole, was replaced. Stereo display faded over life of car (3. 5yrs) until now unreadable. Cannot be fixed must be replaced. Car not under warranty anymore.
