I'll never buy another volkswagen   Printable Version Volkswagen Forum >> VW MODELS >> Volkswagen Jetta >> I'll never buy another volkswagen Page: [1] Login Message << Older Topic   Newer Topic >> I'll never buy another volkswagen - 3/16/2006 3:36:31 PM    RussT   Posts: 6 Joined: 2/23/2006 Status: offline My 2003 Jetta 1.8T died on the highway 2 weeks ago. It would still turn over but not start. Dealer says teeth missing on timing belt and is charging me $4300.00 to fix it even though he has not taken anything apart. Sounds like a lot of volkswagen belts break early. I called Volkswagen and they won't help. I may burn mine. I called VW credit and asked if I could give it back. I also called the dealer, Tom Bush in Jacksonville, FLA and they were not able to help. I may get rid of it. I bought it because I drive 600 miles each week to work and wanted something that would last. Boy was I fooled. I'll never buy another volkswagen!
