Just checking my VIN to compare my own research with my immobilized vehicle to the results I receive from this site because I'm not sure who can or is willing to help me answer my questions other than the actual person in charge at the specific department of a company that I have questions with.
Pax front window fell into the door. Due to cheap, plastic window clips that failed. Replacement clips are now cheap pot metal window clips.
Traveling down pet sites road on my way to work when I notice my car suddenly running hot. I pulled over at the nearest safest place to do so and proceeded to check my fluid levels. As I was unscrewing the water reservoir cap I notice what should be anti-freeze and water mix, is a muddy brown color. I felt the substance and then realized it was oil in my reservoir, and almost all my oil had been removed from my engine and im guessing was displaced to my reservoir. My car never once has acted like it wanted to run hot, nor had it until 6-19-2013.
2002 vw Jetta with what is becoming a common problem. While driving the a/c unit stopped working. All items were checked and no obvious sign of leak, electrical problem or other was found. Dealer wanted to replace all items in the a/c system. Upon further research it was found that the ac clutch is held on by a nylon nut and these are not able to function without this flawed design. A search on any vw discussion board will provide hundreds of complaint about this substandard design. This was a design/manufacturing flaw and need to be addressed by vw. How many other consumers paid for a new a/c system (fan, compressor, clutch ect. ) when all that is needed is a properly manufactured clutch. I believe that this design was only in existence for 2 years and was replaced by vw. Shouldn't they have to answer to all of the consumers about this design. This part is also found a lot of time by vw technicians when they remove the protective belly pan. This is a similar problem to window regulator recall where the used a plastic clip instead of metal.
The coils on my 2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS 1. 8t are burning out. Volkswagen of America has informed me that rather than replace all 4 coils, I must wait until each coil burns out before they will replace it. I have a letter from them as well stating they are aware of the problem but can not do anything more about it due to a lack of coils in stock. I guess the letter is a way to shut the customers up. Apparently this is happening to over 500,000 people last I heard. I want this complaint logged and a personal note added and directed to Volkswagen of America (if possible), "I will not renew my lease on this lemon and I will never purchase another Volkswagen again. " the coil issue is just one of the issues I'm having with this vehicle. The date below is the last time I went in for coil replacement and got to work late.
