problem #2

GTI 1.8L

  • Manual transmission
  • 36,000 miles

Again, found this out after the car was over heating and it would not stay running when trying to start it. Control module had to be replaced along with the radiator on this same visit.

problem #1

Apr 092014

GTI 2.0L T

  • Manual transmission
  • 30,000 miles

Failed on the way to the Boston Marathon in the middle of nowhere Ohio. Thankfully, the system has a limp home mode, just had very limited power but could still do 75 on the freeway - just took a while to get there.

Dealer had the part in stock (miracle) and had it fixed in just a couple of hours.

Still made it to Boston on time.
