Jetta GL 4c

  • Manual transmission
  • 50,000 miles

I lied about the date of my experience, I had a 1993 jetta in 1997 I replaced the transmission around 75,000 on the extended warranty. I took the car to Germany while I was in the military and drove that thing like I stole it on Das AutoBahn. computer shuts it down at 120 FYI. Came back from the land of the smurfs and at 98,984 miles had the transmission replaced again under the 100,000 mile warranty....I'm a lucky s.o.b I don't hold VW completely responsible. However there were other guys in my car club( yes i was an American in a German car club) in Germany having the same problems with their Vento's ( german equilvalent for Jetta) I bought an 08 jetta 2.0 turbo last night and love it....DRIVE THE CC IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE 300 HP.........WOW
