My wife bought a new 2001 beetle in June 2001. Ever since we bought it, it has been nothing but problems.
Just to diagnose the check engine light is over $200.00. :frustrate VW customer care sucks!!!! :frustrate :frustrate :frustrate
"We will look into it sir, but if we are not telling you what you want to hear, you can seek other means outside of volkswagen." WTH is that all about. We don't want to help you, so leave us alone.
It has been into the shop 3 times now since December '03 with the check engine light on. Each time would have been about 230.00 to diagnose. If I did not complain, that would have cost me 690.00 just to diagnose plus what they would have charged me. So say approx 1,000 bucks. (Dealer charges $85.00/hour in labor) 1,000 of an 18,000 car is 5.5% of the car value when new.
This sucks. :fire: :fire: :frustrate :frustrate :frustrate :fire: :fire:
Can you imagine having to spend thousands on repairs on a car that is barley 3 years old with only 27,000 miles on it???????!!!!!??????
