all yuh DIE HARD VW people

[JETTA1000]

is real true once yuh drive a VW yuh doh want nothing else
but when u start getting serious engine problems jus so yuh start to panic
cuz yuh freighten de repair bill go cos u yuh ZEN money

de limin money na
AHH doh talk about the NEW JETTA with the 1.4TSI ENGINE AND
7 SPEED DSG TRANSMISSION NO TORQUE CONVERTER IF I IM CORRECT
DAT THING FAST and yuh getting 47 MPG that is UK Mpg i believe
about 44 mpg the US unit TIPTRONIC Too with SPORT MODE

ah feel like buying one 2moro unfortunately my pocket eh dat that deep
so i have to wait and i know all yuh go see meh in ZEN next week

so le wee talk about these cars i do meh lil research and thing

[JETTA1000]

To all the new VW people i don't want to frighten all yuh and make u think
u bought a 3000lb headache on wheels
These cars have their advantages

1 built in immobiliser very tough to steal vehicle unless you are at gunpoint
you WOULD NOT need carsearch and multilock and kill switch and
dem thing
the locks are designed so they go flush into the doors so if you are parked
and sitting in the car with your window down
no one can try to pull the lock open and the pull you out of the car

2 you cant lock your keys in the car
that isnt possible with the factory keyless entry
remote the only way would mean you have to use the spare
remote or key to lock the car and the other master key would be inside
some other car makers have similar system one MASTER remote key
and a VaLET key remote which only opens doors

3 nice acceleration i doh mine a lil turbo power

4 THE ABS SYSTEM ON VW /audi I LIKE NO JERK
FRONT OF THE CAR DOESNT TIP FORWARD
ONLY IF YOU MASH REAL SHARP
soft brake pad material allow brakes to bed faster
better friction ,That is why all dem RIMs on the AUDI does have
dat black residue

5 Tight suspension corners real nice
I could o 120 in meh 2.0 BORA without the car
sppinnin out

6 5 star safety rating seat and curtain airbags
galvanised heavy construction with specially
engineered crumple zones and aluminum alloy cradle arms
designed to dissipate compressive forces

Saving the driver

AND 12 YEAR RUST WARRANTY ah wonder if they would honor it??

7 if you have factory cd player or cd changer u dont have to worry
about someone breaking your window and stealing it like what
happened with boras and golfs in de earlys which didnt come with afactory system

DISADVANTAGES
WELL i know some people had nightmares with their cars

apart from the obvious bad resale value in more japanese
market and very hard to find a good mechanic to do a little
PJ on your car let we look at some of the problem that you all
had encountered with your VW

lets look on the technical side a little
1999 - 2005 Bora and golf

The car has to much weight in the front end
that to me would explain front tyres always wearing as
if it were underflated or overinflated unlike A BMW weight is evenly distributed
i would say that the Passat or AUDI A4 A6 A8 these engines are longitudinal
and have similar design to BMW even some of the SAME MAF sensors are used
in both VW /AUDI AND BMW

sensors tend to fail may after 100k or less water pump is made with plastic
there is metal replacement

however belts are made tough i havent seen a timing belt stripped on one these
if any one has it would be bcuz of an oil leak or the camshaft seal doesnt leak
only after high mileage 150k or more anyone doing 150 K and above on their
VW let me know what problem u are getting post it here dont be shy

PARTS ARE high priced if you dont shop around a little yuh go geh rob
but there a few sources you could get basic serciceable items air filter pollen filter
oil filter reasonable not to bus yuh pocket

too much cheap polycarbonate plastic parts the engine
coolant flange cracks air breather hose gets brittle
oil fumes from The EGR system is the culprit plastic absorbs
oil fumes and gets brittle over time
these can be fixed inexpensively if you sources your parts from the us
and use a little elbow grease

time running if any body have problrm wtih the VW post it
i might be able to help

vw bora in TT .. the odometer is in miles of kilos ?

[nismown3d]

haha, even in canada people still consider VW german garbage.

[EuroSpec Auto]

They could afford to consider what they want but when have you ever seen a Canadian built automobile - go figure.

[eurotuner]

[Mazdout]

Actually, VW is in the top 10 best selling car in Canada.

[trinsimon]

had a bora. worst headache ever, tranny was no good, spent a cool $20000 (9000 and 6months later 11000) on tranny repairs and if i didnt get a bligh it woulda been upward of $30000...ha..iid never go back VW, at least not in trini. I know of 3other bora owners who instead of fixing or changing tranny, they did a total swap. Rather pay the audi price and drive one.
