#61 of 1441 Mexico (2005.5 Jetta) by moparbad May 17, 2004 (8:31 am)
Interesting that all Jetta/Bora for North America and Europe will be manufactured in Mexico. Well, the Bora never was a big seller in Europe. Golf for North America is to be manufactured in Mexico also. While I do not subscribe to the notion that quality of German VW's is better than Mexican VW's, I do appreciate my 2004 Jetta being made in Germany since it is German car.
#62 of 1441 2004 Jetta from Deutschland? by 03gtiturbo May 19, 2004 (11:11 am)
Must be a Jetta Wagon, I presume, being that all Jetta sedans for NA are produced in Mexico and have been for a number of years. I'm assuming that your VIN# begins with WVW, indicating a German built VW. If it begins with 3VW, it was born in Puebla, Mexico...and newer Golfs/GTI's beginning with 9BW come from Curitiba, Brazil...
#63 of 1441 German Jetta re 03GTI by moparbad May 19, 2004 (11:37 am)
Yes, it is a WVW VIN. Manufactured in Wolfsburg. And yes, it is a Wagon.
#64 of 1441 Electronic Climate Control by dallasg20t May 24, 2004 (9:32 pm)
VW, I do have ONE request!!! No more manual dial climate control. Let's see electronic climate control. Dual zone would be great, but let's at least get it half-way right with a digital AC system. I have '00 G20t and will never go back to a car with manual dial AC. Do this and I'll buy it.
#65 of 1441 No auto climate control please! by moparbad May 25, 2004 (9:33 am)
Please VW, no automatic climate control. I like the manual. Keep it simple. Make it an option for people that want it.

Ugh, I'm tired of auto-control as well. I just want heat when I'm cold and cool air when I'm hot. I don't want the thingy to decide that I must be hot inside when it reaches a certain temperature outside. In my case, my car thinks I'm hot when it reaches about 60. I'm not.   I also wish they'd make it an option instead of standard. Heck, I'd pay money if it were additional cost to have the control manual!

You know the stupid thing about auto climate control is that it almost always mixes heated air w/ A/C air -- what a waste of energy. Our '78 Rabbit L w/ factory A/C has the lever changing variable-intensity on the A/C-compressor frequency. So instead of mixing the A/C air that's too cold w/ heated air, it simply turns on the compressor less frequently.   When I use auto climate control, I have to set it at the lowest temperature, at a low fan speed, then turn off the A/C, & only intermittently turn on the A/C(usually during deceleration) when the temperature isn't cool enough.   The nice thing about the manual climate control w/ at least 2 stages of A/C setting is that you usually set it(& forget it) at the "econo A/C" semi-cold setting that's comfortably cool w/o the smell from the heated air. In case you need to apply additional braking force from the engine, you can always turn it to full A/C. Or for instance you're using the full A/C on a hot day, & suddenly need the max engine power for the next several seconds, switching from full A/C to econo-A/C will take care of the it but still revert back to turn on the compressor afterwards in case you forgot to so your hot date won't complain...

I was driving by a house today and I saw a silver Jetta GL in the driveway with an Enterprise sticker. This isn't the first time either. I saw a black one pull out of a restaurant once. Is VW selling to fleets? Or is Enterprise buying Jettas without fleet discounts? Replies to this message: lvboy1980 (Jun 01, 2004 5:22 am) jchan2 (Jun 01, 2004 1:05 pm)
#70 of 1441 One of our '85 Jetta's by creakid1 May 29, 2004 (1:17 pm)
was a feet model w/ std Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo. It's a stripped model w/ auto & air, & choices of coupe w/ sunroof or sedan w/o sunroof in either white or $150 dark-blue metallic. The sound insulation, especially w/ the carpet-less trunk, was horrible, even worse than the Jetta GL.   We got a good discount deal on a dark-blue sedan at just under $10k out the door in S California.
