Maybe I am the exception
But our 07 Jetta 2.5 has been hands down the most reliable car I have ever owned. It now has almost 130k miles (bought new) and I have only fixed 3 issues (myself, of course, so cost is parts): 1. Air Recirculation Flap Motor - $100 2. Crankshaft Position Sensor - $100 3. Auto Trans Valve Body - $800 The trans valve body (slip - bang shift) is a known issue - thanks to VWs recommendation of "lifetime trans fluid". yeah. nope. fool me once. all gone now. Aside from routine maintenance/care (by the book) - that really is ALL! Very refreshing compared to my LR3 haha - now THAT is a labor of love. So not all water pumpers are bad! |
