2001 Volkswagen Jetta VR6 1.7 from North America
Summary:
A nice car to look at, but do not buy, it falls apart
Faults:
Rear tail light out within 1 week. replaced by me.
Replaced entire wiring harness, shorted out. Replaced at no cost.
Temperature Control sensor, kept blowing out the fuses. Part on order.
Check engine light keeps coming on currently being diagnosed.
Front seat loose, finally replaced, bad bracket.
Driver side window broken, shot down to the bottom of the door, fixed with out cost.
General Comments:
I at first loved the car, the handling and the comfort and so forth. This car has low miles since I car pool, with this in mind I cannot understand what the heck is going on with this car?
Everything that is going wrong with the car at this point is costing me due to the stingy 2 year warranty.
What is in store for me in the future? One thing for sure NO MORE VOLKSWAGEN products!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I also own a 2001 Jetta VR6 but have made no modifications to it. I went ahead and purchased the 75000 mile electrical warranty, but I find that I have not needed it. The car is close to hitting 50,000 and so far no problems. Maybe there is a possibility that the people who are modifying your vehicle don't do much work with the Jetta (at least not the newer ones). That's just my 2 cents.
