2007 Volkswagen Jetta Engine cooling Problems

“I drive a vw Jetta (2007) 2.0t. It has been having several engine issues since I bought the car (check engine light, loss of power, engine sputter). But over the past 5-6 months, I have had the car stall completely twice. The first time at a traffic stop and the second time while merging on to an interstate ramp.”

“I noticed the engine light went on few weeks ago then the shafts' lights started turning on all at the same time (p-r-n-d). The car was moving and a knocking sound started when the weather gets hot. I took it to couple of car shop services and non was able to demonstrate the problem but rather, they offered to change the whole transmission for +4,500 dollars so that they would work it simply with a good profit! While driving earlier today, there was a very weird sound coming from the engine and I planed to take it to vw services so that they'd take a look at it. …”

“I was driving along a major freeway when the car started to vibrate and the check engine light came on and was flashing. I had to attempt to get to the shoulder in heavy traffic with the car slowing down and engine misfiring.

We were stranded on a lone stretch of busy freeway 80 miles from home and had to get a tow for 80+miles and 2+ hour's drive. …”

“Both radiator cooling fans had to be replaced after a check for engine faults were performed with a total cost to me of $786.43. The v.w. Jetta is a 2.5 liter engine. This was the second 2.5 liter Jetta the local automotive repair company has done today with date of june 13, 2013. All the major dealerships in denver were called to compare availability and price of parts. All dealerships had both radiator cooling fans that needed replaced in stock. …”

“While driving on a major highway, my vw's dsg transmission started slipping and shifting erratically. The engine rpms would increase to 6000 then drop suddenly to 500. While this was happening, the engine would suddenly reengage, causing the car to surge and buck. The transmission would then slip again, and the engine surging and vehicle bucking cycle would continue. Symptoms of the dsg transmission failure occurring; transmission would slip. Rpms would increase then decrease suddenly and without warning. …”
