    VW Buyback program is a nightmare

    They approved your release paperwork the same day? I received my formal offer letter this morning and immediately signed it and submitted it. Looking to get this hunk of crap out of my garage!!!

    Clutch or transmission issue at 80K miles - any thoughts?

    Is it really going to take 4-6 months for them to buy them back? I thought it would be immediately after the settlement is approved in October? Im going to park it at the damn dealership ant let them put up with it!

    Clutch or transmission issue at 80K miles - any thoughts?

    someone on another forum mentioned the synchros, which crossed my mind as well. It was weird the way it slipped out of gear the first time, but I have never heard of synchros going bad before. I never drive with my hand resting on the stick.

    Clutch or transmission issue at 80K miles - any thoughts?

    That's what I have kind of been thinking, but 80K seems early for a clutch to be going. Most of these miles have been highway, so not a lot of shifting. I did train my son to drive stick on this car, but you cant smoke the clutch because it kills the engine the second the car begins to bog.

Then couldn't get it Into any...

    Mk7 Common issues and resolutions

    its not my job to do anythingfor you - much less convince you of anything. I couldnt give a crap whether you buy a golf or not. My ego is not bruised either way, and i tend to go commando. The golf is a nice highway beater car for me that I put 50-60K on a year instead of more fun vehicles I...

    Mk7 Common issues and resolutions

    I've had 35,000 miles of flawless driving since Thanksgiving in mine. The doors work, the gas cap matches, and it doesn't leak anything, including fluid from the rear washer. For every person who posts bad experiences on the web, there are another thousand who are quietly enjoying their...
