2016 Volkswagen Golf / Rabbit / GTI 4dr Wagon
turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD
| 65100 mi C $60 |
LR parking brake seized on intermittently. Investigation showed that the aluminum guide tube for the actuation cable had corroded at the point it entered the body underneath the rear seat. This was due to improper installation of the rubber grommet in the body. Area of LR floor was wet from water intrusion. Replaced guide tube and both cables. Unfortunately PB not covered by extended warranty. Repair required removal of entire center console. Poor design makes an easy repair into a very long process. |

Rear brake rotors started to became noticeably rusty within 6 months of vehicle delivery in 2015. Finally decided to clean off the rust and repaint with a heat resistant silver caliper paint as the rust had become a very noticeable eyesore. Cost = hire of hoist (rear wheels removed to provide access) plus cost of paint. |
