watch the tach and the speedo very closely if the tach moves and the speedo doesnt, the clutch is slipping. also they should move proportionately. Just go by your gut. if the car feels slow to respond like the tires are slipping a little, teh clutch is slipping aww thanks jon :hug: ---

I could never recommend that car as a reliable daily driver. I had a 99 Jetta MKIII. (Same engine and tranny as the golf you are looking at). Not only is the car slower then mud (1/4 in the 17s) but for me it was the biggest POS. I went through three transmissions in 60k miles. The shift linkage broke at 60k. The windows worked when they wanted. The rear passenger door stopped latching at about 55k miles Little shit broke alot. It just plain sucked. To top it all off, i only got $3k on trade over a year ago with only 60k miles on it. So, DO NOT BUY THIS CAR! ---

I love my Passat, even though it’s not a Golf, I’ve got nothing to complain about on my car. Sounds like JettaX needs Rubbermaid and Tonka to get together and build a car for his use. Some people can trash/ break anything.(AKA-Ferrari) 😃 X… ---

> [@Xander](#): > > Sounds like JettaX needs Rubbermaid and Tonka to get together and build a car for his use. Some people can trash/ break anything. > > X… I don’t think that to be the case. I have not had one single problem with my WRX (which i autox, something i never did with the Jetta) or any other car i have driven. And with the exception of the trannies (which were in no way my fault and all covered under warrenty) there is no way i could have broken anything by use. How could anything i did keep the rear door from latching closed? My car was well maintained, ask anyone who knows me. All VWs that were/are built in mexico have much higher quality issuse then those built in germany. I believe your passat was built in germany. My Jetta and this Golf were both built in Mexico. It is a fact that VWs comming out of the mexican plant have more quality issues then those built in germany. ---

i kno i kno… but i drove it and it seems fine. clutch and tranny is fine… when i go through the gears i feel a little but of a rumble by my feet, is that normal considering the tranny is right there? tons of new parts on the ka… how much would it be to do the timing belt on this beast?
