One problem related to rear suspension axle has been reported for the 2001 Volkswagen Golf. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2001 Volkswagen Golf based on all problems reported for the 2001 Golf.
My 2001 vw Golf has hydraulic bushings in the rear axle and one of them leaked fluid. Unfortunately, the bushings are integral to the axle and can’t be replaced without replacing the entire axle. As a matter of fact, vw has a technical service bulletin on it (c 42-99-01). I requested from the dealer that vw pay for replacing the rear axle but vw feels it is not a safety related issue. Based on my limited knowledge of hydraulic bushings, I would expect some play in the rear axle which would affect the handling characteristics of my vehicle and thus its safety. Your comments would be appreciated.
