problem #1

May 152012

Rabbit 2.5L

  • Manual transmission
  • 35,000 miles

The air conditioner wouldn't blow cold air. First time we tried it. Thankfully certified pre-owned warranty kicked in.

Unfortunately it took a total of three separate visits over 4 months for them to finally fix the leak. During my second visit they tried to tell me my tires were unsafe and that I should buy new tires from them.

During my last visit, the mechanic replaced the head gasket because I mentioned I saw some oil around it. He said it's normal for them to seep a little at 45k miles. But he replaced it still under warranty and without being asked, so sort of a bonus ... idk...

AC fine since. Still a little under-powered for Arizona perhaps.
