  • i am a proud volksvagen technician. i was a brunette when i apprenticed.

  • fkin mexican cars not german

  • I need a radiator for a 63 Bug!

  • id like to pop a few viagra then snake that old mans shit tube

  • @smegmacheese69 lmao wth

  • I'm a retired auto mechanic. Last 20 years I worked at a VW dealership. VW's, as with all german cars have 2 faults: seals and electrical. Why do you think the Japanese, and now Korean cars are out selling the Germans? Frequency of repair! Look at any long term owners survey and you'll see how bad they get after about 60k miles. I had numerous VW owners who finally got smart and traded their VW in for a Toyota, Nissan, etc. VW's perform well WHEN THEY ARE RUNNING. They just simply don't hold up!

  • Dude looks like Gunther from Friends.

  • Lol, Anything with an automatic tranmission sucks. Get standard, or DSG. No matter what happens to someone's car, any brand, they will complain. It is what it is.

  • My 2010 GTI has been FLAWLESS, 45K+ miles, FLAWLESS, I put air in the tires, not a burp, and it feels GREAT, solid, handling is superb, I almost think where I want the car to go, and it goes there, comfortable 6 hours drives, great seats, great MPG, and it whips around with lots of go. brakes superb! Flawless!

  • I have always found the VW Technicians to be conscientious. It is not their fault the New Beetle is a P.O.S. ! I have had five (5) New Beetles since 1999, two for me and three for my wife, and the last one is a convertible that was defective one month off the lot and they had to give us a new one.  Now at 70,000 miles the transmission is being replaced. The windows fall down, three of them so far, and the water pump is made of plastic and has gone to pieces. Electrically, terrible.

  • My first VW, a MK2 GTI ('84?), had to be scrapped at only 42K miles. A loose planetary gear inside the tranny came loose and actually wore a hole through the tranny case! On the other side of the coin, my current MK4 ('03) 24V VR6 GTI has given me NO problems whatsoever in the almost 10 years i've owned the car! It has been more reliable than even the best Japanese cars i've owned!

  • don't miss the "spielende Kinder"-sign =)

  • Hey Jeff you want to fix mine? It's only 5 months old and its stuck in the dealers AGAIN!

  • "I love fix in' VWs'. So would I knowing that you have a guaranteed job for life knowing how crappy VW reliability is!

  • Jeff;

    Glad to see that you're still doing a good job after all of these years! Keep up the good work.

  • VW, the only car company I will never want to work on. there is no reason they need to be engineered the way they are. For example, if I wanted to do the brakes on a jetta (late 90's-2000's) I need to buy an expencive tool from VW in order to even get them off? WHY?

  • @tylerspyler2 think about it dude. the answer may lay in the name of the brand....sounds german? maybe these, in the us, expensive tools arent too expensive in germany cause theyre common tools for german cars.

  • @KnightFirstandAlways I never said they are bad cars, just over-engineered. What is the point of bolting the rotor to the wheel hub? it the the lug nuts are enough. why do they have wheel bolts? wheel studs are easier to use. It cannot be explained. The problem is not money but ease of use.

  • Comment removed

  • @tylerspyler2 I prefer wheel bolts TBH. Just my 2 cents. And lots of manufacturers bolt the rotors to the hub so they don't fall out of place when a wheel is taken off maybe?

  • @tylerspyler2 thats the same problem with US cars in Europe, it's due to the sticking to inches on your side.

  • @tylerspyler2 really? What tool do you need to buy?

  • Now that's passion and pride right there! Das Auto! Das VW.

  • Thats the kinda guy I want working on my car.

  • @Mr7475ih Go ahead and buy a VW and you can rest assured someone will be working on your car a lot!

  • @nldekker I didnt mention anything about buying a VW. I meant his attitude and the pride he has in doing the job right.
