MAINTENANCE:
I owned this car since 2006 and have done the following maintenance:
- Oil changed every 7,500 miles. The car uses only synthetic oil 505.00 (VW standard).
- Transmission fluid and filter changed at 130K
- Class 2 tow hitch installed at 140K
- New Bosh style MAF at 158K
- Front end alignment at 175K along with 4 new Monroe Shocks.
- New timing belt, serpentine belt, water pump, all tensioners and rollers changed at 202K. So it's good for at least another 80K.
- Paint shop repainted front bumper, hood, roof and rear hatch matching the indigo blue original paint perfectly. Topped off with clear coat of course. This was done at 203K.
- New alternator replaced at 205K
- New A/C compressor and dryer replaced at 206K
Car is very agile yet economical. I usually average 35+ MPG in the city and 40 MPG on the highway. Even when towing a boat the car does 25+ MPG!!!
