problem #1

Jan 152013

GTI 1.8L

  • Manual transmission
  • 36,000 miles

Noticed the car started overheating after coming back from a vacation. Took the car in to find that the thermostat had failed. Had to replace the entire radiator as they one piece. On this same trip had to have the fuel pump and a control module replaced. Very frustrated.
