My wife has a 2004 Jetta with the 2.0 engine. Over all the car fits her well (she is 5') and she loves to speed around in it.
We did have issues with the sunroof drains. The drains started leaking at the connection near the sunroof and the water pooled on the rear passanger floor; the headliner had to be removed to fix the problem. Also she has an issue when the the gas gets below 1/4 tank the car likes to stumble and cut out for a few seconds. I've not solved this problem yet. The timing belt was no too hard to change and basic maint is straight forward. I must say the the plastic parts seem to be cheap and break easily (center consol storage latch, seat belt bolt covers etc) |

'03 2.0 Jetta and I have the same problem... Never correlated it with a low gas tank but I tend to be under 1/4 all the time anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This little problem gets REAL interesting in heavy traffic or on the freeway. Does it stumble out and completely die? Or stumble down as if it were idling? Mine does both. Also it's an automatic and just started slipping bad at 85k. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
