Jetta Tdi

  • Manual transmission

Really? VW can't make a compressor last until I can at least get the car paid off? This Is my second Jetta and both had the compressors fail prematurely.

The motor will go forever, but the other stuff is killing my love for the car.

Third time into repair shop for A/C fix - no issue found, everything tested normal. Repair shop put dye in the freon in order to track "possible" leak.
