Never had a warranty on mine. Bought it used summer of '06. I have had very good luck, now it's for you to mod away!

Not particularly all that much. Let's see if I can remember....

- repair auto climate system (but that was the dealer's fault because they fouled it up when they installed the iPod adapter when i bought it :roll:).

- O2 sensor at about 30k miles

- Replaced passenger side drive shaft

- Replaced Driver's seat lower leatherette cover (original one started cracking).

- Replaced exhaust system (just a couple weeks ago) because the muffler developed a rattle they couldn't fix.

- Replaced Water pump due to coolant leak.

Good grief....that's a longer list than I remembered. :eek: Oh well...

I've had several VWs over the last several years, so I'm used to having lots of warranty repairs done. :lol:

I usually want to go trade my car right about now....but this one I think I'm gonna hold on to for a while. I LOVE it. I enjoy my commute to work every day and never get sick of driving it. :thumbsup: I just hope the clutch doesn't go out or something big like that. I'm about due for brakes....50k miles on the original set and they are getting a bit thin now. :)
