Ah the benefit of having sparkless ignition.

Yep, they have been having issue with the coil packs...

The VW's aren't bulletproof, they do have there fair share of problems including coil packs, maf's, and interior rattle's.

I do agree that the auto/tip is a great ladies car. The tranny seems very efficient, and shifts very quickly....for a slushbox. Kinda reminds me of my S-10 SS, punch the gas and light up the tires....ahhhh gotta love torque!





ahhhh yes...those goddamn ignition coils...

All four of our coils have fried and replaced with the new coils. The car only has 6K miles on it! The car was in there three times for the coil packs (cyl 2, cyl 1 & 3, then cyl. 4) in that order.

lol

"Final Repair Notice" has been sent into VW for this problem....so no...these cars are not bulletproof.

lol
