ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2009 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA TDI AT 53,000 MILES MY RADIATOR WENT OUT DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW WERE A CLAMP RUBBED A HOLE IN THE RADIATOR. VW WOULD NOT COVER UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, AT 68,000 MILES THE ALIGNMENT WENT OUT IN THE AUTOMOBILE, AND FINNALLY AT 72,000 MILES I NOTICED MY TRANSMISSION MAKING A HARD SHIFT AND A DELAY SHIFT WHEN TAKING OFF, I INQUIRED ABOUT IT TWICE AT THE DEALER SHIP AND WAS ADVISE NOTHING WAS WRONG. THEN AT 94,000 MILES I STARTED HEARING A LOUD NOISE FROM MY MOTOR IT IS THE DUAL MASS CLUCH FLYWHEEL HAS GONE OUT. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $3000.00 TO FIX. I CALLED VW OF AMERICA, THE VP I TALKED TO, SAID JUST BECAUSE THE PART WAS RECALLED IN AUSTRALIA AND CANADA IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO THEM. *TT
