2000 Volkswagen Jetta Engine cooling Problems

“My 2000 Volkswagen Jetta needed a full replacement of the oil pan and gasket. There is no reason that this part should need to be replaced. Also at 121,000 miles the catalytic converter was replaced and Volkswagen had it under extended warranty up to 120,000 and would not replace the part for me. There is no reason these parts should need replacement. The car has 129,500 miles on it, has been garaged, never been in an accident and has mostly highway miles on it.”

“Failure of drivers side power window - first time, however I expected it to happen since I found 53 complaints on this web site alone. This isn't the first time to encounter major repairs on this car. Just 4 weeks ago paid 1,100 dollars to replace oil pump and mass airflow meter. Why isn't there a recall yet?”

“My vehicle is a tdi diesel -computer/engine - engine diagnosis light has come on - diagnosis ($85.00) gate on turbo charger does not operate properly. Was told could drive vehicle but performance may deteriorate. Engine light still comes on ocaaisionaly. Rear brakes seized and wore completely out - dealer refused any warranty - wrote v/w customer service - they refunded about 90% of my cost”

“I have a 2000 vw Jetta gls and have had several sensor defects time after time from 2001 until the present 2005, in which I have come out of pocket on 4 different occasions for the same problem. These problems include the mass air flow, oxygen sensor, and coolant temp sensor.”

“My 2000 Jetta ran dry on oil at 21,000 miles but not under 2yr bumper to bumper warranty (6k miles after a factory oil change). They did a consumption test for 1500 miles and assured us everything was ok. It was ok for 1500 miles then it was empty again. They had to change the piston rings and pretended that this was a unique problem for our car. I have since read other reports of similar experiences.”
