40-page thread about a Jetta

[Eye of the Tiger]

JET-uhs have torsion beam rear suspensions. It may not like it.

I thought it was struts in the back.


Apparently it's coil springs on an "independent track-correcting torsion beam rear axle" with a sway bar.

[280Z Turbo]

Nope.

"There?s a reason every phone book from Bangor to the Bay Area lists at least one or two VW-specific repair shops. Jettas are a pain to work on. There?s plastic where metal should be, metal where nothing should be, weird sensors you can?t find, and commonly replaced maintenance items obscured by things like the chassis. When you do finally identify and manage to remove the offending component, its replacement can be difficult to locate and expensive when found."

lmao, so true.

[TheIntrepid]

Congrats, Nick.

[S204STi]

It is running well. It's just that the entire brake system needed replacing at a cost of $3415, so I decided to cut my losses.

Welcome to New England.  So glad I don't work on cars there anymore...
