problem #1

Nov 192003

GTI 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 14,000 miles
My clutch failed at 14,000 miles. My ignition fails regularily, the ignition coil has been recalled and now I am having problems with my catalytic converter. I have owned VW's all of my life and traded in my last VW that had 170K on an original clutch.
