2000 Volkswagen Jetta GL 1.7 turbo diesel from North America
Summary:
Excellent mileage
Faults:
The air bag lite first came on about 6 months after I bought it. I took it to the dealer and it was repaired. About a month later it came on again and was repaired by dealer. Now it seems every couple of months I can count on this to come on. I have been back to the dealer six times so far for this problem.2. Drivers side power window broke. Brought it back to the dealer. When it was fixed??? The window had a mind of it's own. If you raised it it would go down then up or vice versa. Dealer said it was repaired. Still does it sometimes.
General Comments:
For a new car I felt it was in the shop more than was acceptable. Also dealer tried to charge me $63.00 for a oil change. I had to put up quite a fuss to get it reduced to $35.00. I now do it myself for about $14.00.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I have a 2000 GTI VR6. My EPC has been coming on lately, but the car is running just fine. VW told me that it may be of a break light that is out. I have a break light out, but haven't changed it yet. Have you heard of this problem? The emissions light comes on all the time also, but when it was in VW they said everything checked out. Then about a month later it came on again and then back off. Now it too is back on. What's your take on this? I am very disappointed with this car.
