2000 VR6 Jetta - Major Problems

[dee6167]

I have had so many problem with this car, it's crazy.
I've had the following stuff replaced, some recall, some not: window, cd player, water pump, sensors, and now I need a new heater core (which according to the dealer will cost $800) I have 64,000 miles and was also told I should replace serpentine belt. What next??? Can anyone else feel my pain!!!

Oh yeah, lets not forget about the broken clamp on the arm rest, and the broken hinge on the glove box...(that costs $300 to fix, what a joke)

Holy crap dude, the dealership is taking you for a ride. I'm not saying the parts didn't need to be replaced, but at those costs... any time you need a part do yourself a HUGE favor and call 1-800-VW-PARTS. They're out of NY, and they ship COD (the only bummer is you have to be home with a checkbook, or schedule a pickup at the UPS warehouse). I'm telling you... my car needs a new cat and the dealership cost is like $1200 for the PART!! These guys will ship it for like $378. I absolutely swear by them. Tell everyone who needs parts for any water VW.

Good lookin out! I just got off the phone with them.

Told you dude. They're seriously the best. Tell everyone who needs parts, the more business they get the better the prices will be for all of us. They all drive vw's, and they're all cool guys to deal with.
