#5954 of 6289 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: 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
#5958 of 6289 I NEED HELP WITH MY SPEEDO!!! by aly1523 Jan 21, 2009 (6:47 pm)
I've got a 2002 Jetta 2.0 automatic, when I get passed 60 mph my speedometer likes to flutter back and forth, and it will not go past 70 mph. It is always 5-10 mph off. I can not use my cruise control because of it, any ideas? Replies to this message: mattyp33 (Aug 17, 2009 6:52 pm)
#5959 of 6289 Door Problems by Wwillt Jan 26, 2009 (10:05 am)
My driverside door will not open. I just started this this past weekend. I just bought a keyless entry switch but did not have it with me. The door would not open from the inside nor the outside. The door button goes up and down with the turn of he key from the passenger door outside and inside with the switch; but the door will not open. Oh yeah my car is a 97' Jetta VR6.

Replying to: Wwillt (Jan 26, 2009 10:05 am) What is the climate like where you live? When I lived in Canada, sometimes the lock and door would freeze shut. The lock button would go but when the keyless entry was activated but the door would not open. if you live somewhere warm then disregard.

Replying to: Wwillt (Jan 26, 2009 10:05 am) Sure sounds like the symptoms of a door frozen shut. If you live in freezing temps., it is a good idea to apply GummiPflege to all the door and trunk seals before winter sets in. This pretty much eliminates doors frozen shut.

Replying to: cdm2883 (Jan 26, 2009 3:47 pm) That's a cooling system malfunction and needs further diagnosis. Under suspicion would be the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. A VAG diagnostic tool can verify if this sensor is malfunctioning or if some wiring is screwed up....or if the sensor isn't too expensive you can replace it and get someone to clear the code for you.
