| 2005 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | WHEN WE COLD START OF OUR 2005 JETTA, THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE AN AIRPLANE ENGINE FIRING UP -- THE CAR REVS ITSELF AFTER 10 SECONDS AND THEN WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE -- IT LUNGES. CALLED VW AND HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY AGREED THAT THE CAR HAD AN ISSUE AND SENT OUT A VW TECH TO PUT A RESONATOR ON THE CAR -- DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEN AFTER 2 MONTHS OF FIGHTING THE DEALERSHIP AND VW, WE WEE TOLD THAT THE CAR IS PERFORMING TO SPEC AND THAT VW WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *NM |
