This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
2002 Jetta tdi wagon; I have had 6 glow plugs replaced then told that the check engine light was for a bad glow plug harness. Dealer in buffalo told me that the oem harness was made from inferior materials and many fail, but no recall has been issued; now faced with $150 parts and labor to replace this defective harness.
I have a 2002 Jetta gls tdi. I am constantly replacing glow plugs. Have a coolant temp code reading for quite some time and also fuel injection pump, which is probably what is causing glow plugs to go bad.
I own a 2002 VW Jetta tdi (diesel). At 49,500 miles, the engine stopped running. The problem was a clogged fuel intake system. The car is still under warranty. I was told that the warranty does not cover this problem, as it is a maintenance issue. I called the VW headquarters, and they explained that this problem should not occur if scheduled maintenance was performed. I have done all of the scheduled maintenance, at a great expense. Finally, VW has agreed to pay half of the $520 bill to clean the fuel intake. After doing web research, this seems to be a problem facing many VW tdi owners. Because VW told me this problem should not occur with routine maintenance, I believe that VW is not honoring the warranty by paying the entire expense.
