1998 Volkswagen Jetta wolfsburg 1.8 from North America
Summary:
A lemon with four wheels
Faults:
Front and Rear disks and pad replaced at 45,000 miles.
Throttle Body replaced at 59,000.
Driver's side window is starting to break.
Trim is pealing away from the car.
General Comments:
These cars are obviously not worth the money they cost to buy.
I would strongly suggest a Honda or Toyota.
Jetta s may be cute, but the fact that they are money pits don't make up for it.
Did I mention this car has been in for regular Volkswagen maintance on time?
Come on guys!!
If you do purchase a Volkswagen get a long warranty and Good Luck. You'll need it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I had the same problem with the stalling. We initially thought it was the alternator, but it turned out to be the starter.
