This is exactly why I got rid of my 2001 Jetta. IMO it was the biggest piece of shit, It constantly gave me problems. Every single month I was dumping money into it (non-mods) to keep it on it’s feet. ---

You should probably start trying to get a little more handy working on your car if you want to continue owning a Volkswagen, otherwise your going to get absolutely killed by the dealers. ---
