#5948 of 6253 Wax off the paint on My new Jetta by rosweet Jan 13, 2009 (7:17 am)
Hell All, I only have my new 2009 Jetta for two months, and didn't pay too much attention to where I park my car and popped my trunk too close the the cabinet in my garage. guess what, the white paint of the cainet left a mark in my red jetta's trunk door. Can anybody tell me what I should do: take back to the dealer let them fix it or go buy a wax (don't know which???) and try to wax it off, or go to a car wash let them fixed it?   really appreciate your answers!

Replying to: rosweet (Jan 13, 2009 7:17 am) As long as there is no dent or scratch, only the white paint, you should be able to buff it out with a polishing compound. Be sure not to rub too hard. You could try using a wax/polish first to see if it takes the paint off--use the most gentle compound possible to avoid scratching the red paint.

Replying to: revmarket (Jan 10, 2009 7:37 am) Thanks for the info. The click click click sound comes from behind the dash from some relays when the key is in ON position, it does not come from the starter. No noise comes from the starter at all. then in crank position, the lights are dim, the dash light fade out,   Once the car starts and turn it off, and start it again. It acts like nothing was wrong. it starts and runs great.   You can not turn the window down when it acts up. The power supply appears shot. the red battery cable looks new like the previous owner replaced it.   Joe   Joe

Replying to: shaghil (Jan 17, 2009 2:41 pm) The most important things to look for: *)Has the proper Synthetic 505.00 oil been used at all times? *)Has the TimingBelt been replaced at the proper intervals? (Including Watepump,pullies,idlers,tensioners and related compoents)   It should be pretty obvious what the reslult of using the wrong oil does to the engine.   Some people have purchased TDIs only to find out that a cheep "quickie" TimingBelt change had been done.... the waterpump and/or pullies which were NOT changed may not make it till the next TimingBelt change interval. The result may be SERIOUS damage to engine when the pistons crash into the valves. Replies to this message: shaghil (Jan 18, 2009 10:00 am)

#5954 of 6253 Re: VW timing belts suck!!! Class Action suit may be pending [wtknght1] by WilsonFL Jan 20, 2009 (5:26 pm)
Replying to: wtknght1 (Dec 19, 2008 9:52 am) The timing belt on my daughter's 2000 VW Jetta GLS 1.8T broke at 65K just last week. This car has had every scheduled maintenance including the 40K where they are supposed to check the timing belt. The dealer gave me an estimate of $4,863.00 in repairs and suggested I trade it in to them for a new VW! Needless to say I had the car towed from there to a private garage for a second estimate and opinion but if it is that severely damaged I will most likely not fix it but sell it for junk parts...that's how little I think of this car. You are right, VW was NO help at all and took no responsibility for the design flaw of this car despite my raising the issue with both the dealer and VW customer care (what a joke) for the class action suit with the Passat and the Audi with this very issue.

Replying to: WilsonFL (Jan 20, 2009 5:26 pm) Here's the link to the Class Action settlement:   http://www.psswplaw.com/CM/ClassActions/Volkswagen.asp   For some reason, your car doesn't seem to be on the list. Not sure why that is. Replies to this message: ruking1 (Jan 20, 2009 6:15 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 20, 2009 5:42 pm) Well the good news is folks are getting what has been probably long over due ! The bad news: VW dealerships are tasked with performing the task !!! A lot of dealerships can't even put the correct VW specified oil in the vehicles they are servicing ,even as a new VW 507.00 is backwards compatible ( TDI ) !!??

Replying to: WilsonFL (Jan 20, 2009 5:26 pm) We really need to get word out there guys. Please email me if you or anyone you know that has had this problem. The list is growing and I've contacted the firm that was responsible for the VW/Audi lawsuit.   Thanks!!   Chris Ingle wtknght1aol.com
