Golf 4-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles
When any electric or electronic component on my 2000 volkwagen Golf tdi fails, the transmission locks in 3rd gear, making acceleration very difficult. Recently, these component failures have also been resulting in complete power failures at speed.
