When my tranny went the first time it gave absolutly no warning. I was just driving along in gear and boom. But if you don’t want to heed my warnings, good luck! Hope you have no issues.

The tranny i believe is about $1300 (i never paid for mine because of warrenty) plus labor. My car had only 60k when i got rid of it so i never had to bother with the timming belt, but it shouldn’t be too hard to do, there is alot of room in the engine bay.

i have A 95 Jetta MK3 2.slow, like this golf ur interested in.

there is always going to be horror stories from everyone about everything.

my car is a 95, and has a lil under 75k miles. The thing runs perfectly fine, besides the Check Engine Light comes on once in a while, then goes away… but thats normal for MK3’s when they have dirty MAF’s or bad O2 sensors.

The tranny shifts fine etc etc. I have heard of the 2.0’s going until 237k miles w/o any probs…just timing belt changes and reg. oil changes 🙂

its all give or take. im pretty sure after owning this car, i will never want another make again. I am currently looking to get into a new (way faster) VW.

good luck man! :tup:

My experience being the exact opposite, im sure i will never own a VW ever again. But you also reminded me about my check engine light. It was on so much it burned out. But im glad your experience was different from mine.
