2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen 4dr Wagon

turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD

96100 mi

C $699
Hood release lever and cable broke 
95000 mi Check engine light came on and was diagnosed as a faulty or stuck exhaust flap. VW replaced this under a special "extended" warranty program for that particular part. No cost out of pocket 
112000 mi Problem: Fuel door would not open. Tried cycling the door locks. Fix: Using something soft (bicycle tire levers, spring type wooden clothespin (separated), nylon trim removal tools), pry the rear side of the door open (rear side opens, front side is hinge). I used a wooden clothespin I had in the glove box. Required both wood pieces to pry. Silicone spray to lube latch mechanism. I had no warning this was going to happen. It is the first really hot day (102oF) ... not sure if that had anything to do with problem.
