Are there any issues with the VW Jetta?
The car has had multiple issues – two CV axles, glow plug, fuel filter clogged up, to name a few. However, during the first year, I got everything fixed. The point is that it CAN be fixed by your local mechanic.
What kind of engine does a VW Jetta have?
The 2.0 litre 4-cylinder engine in Jettas are very reliable and perform well. Considering its an automatic an a small engine, its pretty quick and very fuel efficient. The Premium Monsoon Sound System is AWESOME for a stock radio with 11yr old technology.
When did the VW Jetta GLS come out?
Ive got the 2.0 AEG 5spd combination of Jetta GLS, and I’ve owned it since 2002, just hit 180,000 miles. I’ve had to service it, and replaced most of the front steering and suspension wear components, and did mild parts upgrades, and the car is really a lot of fun, even though it’s under-powered.
It is also more sturdy and gives you better control at higher speeds than other cars in this class. There are some small issues with the electronics though – the coolant alert goes off even though I have adequate coolant and the temperature does not exceed normal engine running temperature.
How to know if the VW Jetta security system is armed?
The way to KNOW that the alarm is “armed” is to see the blinking indicator on the top of the drivers door. (The A4 vehicles have the indicator there… your A5 may have it in differnt location.) Perhaps that is a programmable option :confuse: . The red light does blink on ours after locking with one press on the remote.
Why does my VW Jetta honk when I start the car?
I have a 2000 Jetta and the deactivating sensor for the security in the door lock seems to be bad. When locking or unlocking with the key, the security turns on but rarely turns back off, causing the horn to honk for 30 seconds or so when I start the car.
Can a red light blink on a VW Jetta?
The red light does blink on ours after locking with one press on the remote. Yes it is “programmable” option. Anyone with a VagCom can change it for you. Recently bought a 2000 Jetta TDI. Installed new battery thing morning due to the fact that the car had been sitting for several months wihout one in it.
