Hello Folks,
I have a 2006 Jetta, just rolled over 200k. Changed the oil at 200k. She started running poorly? I did a quick check. Found the coolant bottle was low. Topped her off and discovered the dreaded white slimy grease in the bottle. CRAP!!! Anyway I discovered that the trans cooler had a seal failure and the trans and coolant were swapping fluids. I fixed the seal and changed out the ATF and filter. She ran okay but has developed a Bunny HOPP. I have now changed the fluid three times. She is getting better, but still has the hop when taking off from a stop. This problem seems to be worse when I have ran her for a while, ie 60 mile trip. I'm getting ready to change the fluid for the forth time. It almost seems like a broken motor mount or possible a bad speed sensor? The Trans doesn't slip, she can spin the tires on cement absolutly no slippage. Now when she begins to Bunny Hop, if I apply some throttle she stops hopping and takes off normally. I can't afford to rebuild the Trans probably would be a minimum of 3500$ that's if I could find someone capable of doing the job? Don't want to scrap her, she has been a wonderful car and runs great except for this issue. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Regards Preston
