Faults:
Hi Guys,
I owned a 2002 Jetta TDI and it was 100% a piece of crap had it into the dealer a dozen times for warranty. From the brakes locking up when applied the dash going blank the idle sensor not sensing properly. etc etc. The last and final straw was the engine making a real high pitch screaming noise. The dealership couldn't figure it out replaced the drive axles as well as the transmission and other numerous parts this was all at 80,000 Km. They had our car for 3 weeks while we drove a courtesy car.
Long storey short Volkswagen gave us a new 2004 Jetta TDI and kept our old car for an autopsy...
The new 2004 is fantastic and now has 98,000 KM on in with no problems.
General Comments:
The 2004 Jetta TDI is a great commuter car.
The only downfall we find is the small seating area.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Doesn't sound like a lot of problems & the dealer took care of the transmission. I guess that wasn't enough to keep you in a VW though.
