problem #1

Nov 292011

Jetta GL 2.0L

  • Manual transmission
  • 170,239 miles

On a dark cold night the oil cooler gasket suddenly failed with no warning. The rubber gasket cracked allowing for four quarts of oil to leave the engine within one minute. This is a common problem with this car around 170,000 miles and around 13 years of service.
