1986 Volkswagen Jetta TX 1.6
Summary:
Slow but at least you will get there without breaking down
Faults:
Mainly usual parts ie. brake discs etc.
CV joints seem weak.
Rear shocks have been changed.
Diff bearing went in the gearbox - ouch! Big bill.
Generally just plugs and oil changes every 6,000 miles keep it running well.
General Comments:
Has been very reliable car as I do many motorway miles. Not very fast but cruises OK.
No rust at all anywhere. Seems very tough although I do tend to replace things before they break.
Good car on the whole.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
