| 1999 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | THE TWO AREAS WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING ARE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON FOR NO REASON. THEY HAVE ASKED US IF WE CLOSED THE GAS CAP TIGHTLY? WE ALWAYS DO! EACH TIME THEY SAY IT IS SOMETHING ELSE WHICH IS NOW GETTING COSTLY. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE OVERWHELMING SMELL OF GAS THAT HAS MADE US SICK AND CAUSED HORRIBLE HEADACHES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM EITHER AND ASKED IF WE TOP OFF WHEN WE FILL UP. WE DO NOT. WE FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS HAVING MAJOR ELECTRICIAL PROBLEMS AS WE DO HAVE A 2001GOLF AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. SINCERELY, RICHARD & ROBERTA WILSON. *AK |
| 2010 | FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL | I GOT INTO MY CAR AS NORMAL, AND BEGAN TO DRIVE. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING, I CAME TO A RED LIGHT ON A BUSY STREET. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. I WAS TOLD THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED, AND THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM HAS TO BE REPLACED... AFTER I GOT HOME, I QUICKLY GOOGLE SEARCHED THE ISSUE AND APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON A BAD DESIGN BY VOLKSWAGEN AND BOSCH... *TR |
