My son has a 2007 GTI. One of the taillight bulbs burned out and he was charged over $30.00 to CHANGE THE BULB! I was apalled at the charge and want to know how to open the light and switch the bulb out. Additionally, he tried to check the air filter but couldn't find it. Any help for this young man?

| Hello there. I'm buying a new car and I love the 2009 VW GTI but have heard some TERRIBLE things about Volks' reliability. People that have owned them have told me about all sorts of problems from transmissions to the brakes going. Will someone who has owned Volks please comment on this. Are they well made cars? Now I personally am NOT a fan of german cars just because they spend more time at the shop and have had great cars in hondas and nissans. But what do you guys knows about Volks or the GTI in particular? Anything would help. Thanks. | |

First year models tend to have more problems than later year models... and storing a car for long periods of time is never good on a car. Yet, outside of a few recalls... I've only had two problems happen: 1. The engine inlet manifold broke (which didn't really effect my day to day driving, it just kept the 'check engine' light on). 2. A rock punctured my radiator. (I can't blame VW for that... but I can blame the gravel truck) --- Just my two cents. |
