Replying to: bodble2 (Feb 03, 2008 9:32 pm) My Golf TDI was built in Brazil, and I don't have a single complaint about the build quality. The engine was from Germany, the manual transmission from Argentina, the only problem in the first 100k miles was a part made in Europe. All VW factories, anywhere in the world, use the same robots. Furthermore, all Passats have been German-built, and I've spoken with some Passat owners whose cars are in the shop almost monthly. I don't really know what the problem is, I suspect it is inadequate training -- the dealer techs don't know how to troubleshoot problems so they get fixed on the first visit. |

Replying to: bodble2 (Feb 03, 2008 9:32 pm) For the Jetta: Puebla, Mexico IMO, the A5/MKV/Current Jetta and Rabbits are very soild cars. They each have 2recalls and 11tsb. The speedometer being optimistic and a headlight ground. Compare that to an Audi A6 having recalls and 42TSBs!! -Cj

Replying to: jeffyscott (Feb 07, 2008 5:56 am) Here's a link to the Recalls and TSBS. The Speedo is under TSB near the top. I think all of this applies to jettas and rabbits including the 08s. -Cj

Replying to: autoboy16 (Feb 08, 2008 2:42 pm)  ...or does that not mean what I think it means? As for determining speed, one way is you can set your cruise and then time how long it takes you to cover a certain number of miles on the interstate where there are mile posts. An easy distance to use might be 20% of your speed...meaning if you are at 70 mph, check time for 14 miles and this would be 12 minutes (20% of an hour) if speedometer is accurate. To be accurate you would want to stay in the same lane for the whole distance.

( NHTSA ITEM NUMBER - 10021959 )" They just used Digital Instrument Panel as a place of reference for filing but the Speedo is the defect. So are the 0-60 times going to change?? I think its like 9secs for the 05.5-07 6AT and 8.5 for 2008 6AT 5Cyl engines only. -Cj |

Hello, I have a 2007 Rabbit. I was recently involved in a collision in which I was rear ended. I had the car fixed by a body shop with a great reputation, They did a great job as far as I can tell. I am still waiting on an in trunk trim peace that snaps in around the bottom part of the trunk in the back part. Anyways I started rain a lot a few days after I got the car back. I never had any leakage issues prior to the accident. I just noticed that the back support and the seat of the rear seats are wet, I cant find where the water is coming from. The headliner is not wet, neither is the trunk or the floors. I was wondering if anyone has had any similar problems, or if the trim piece that is missing may be the culprit. Thanks!
