Car (it’s a diesel) experienced a brief “runaway” while I was driving the kids to school, where it redlined and wouldn’t stop until I shut off the engine, after which it started smoking, and check engine light came on. The car drove, but was dropped off at dealer soon after. Dealer diagnosed a cracked glow plug harness, which was not connecting to Cylinder 3 properly. That fix ran $700. Dealer also recommended replacing gaskets, springs, etc. – for a total of “$4,000, but discounted to $3,500”. This was all about half a year or a year after the dealer installed a brand new intake manifold ($1,100 total or thereabout). I wanted the car to last another year or so, so I figured it would be cheaper to fix the little devil I knew, than spend on a devil I didn’t, so I agreed. A week later the engine experienced another runaway, but this time even shutting it off didn’t stop it. It blew a ton of smoke out the tailpipe and stopped. Knowledgeable people tell me that the symptoms suggest oil in the intercooler was the culprit, where the turbo would blow that into the combustion chamber, supplying fuel even if the normal fuel line was shut off. I’m baffled that the dealer didn’t pursue this and check for oil in the IC. At any rate, the car is dead now, I’m out more than $4,500 in repairs in about a year... Love the design of the TDI Wagon, want to get another one for its functional features, not loving the crap VW reliability. For a car produced in such large numbers, for so many years, you’d think they would figure this stuff out...

Front transmission seal was worn; replaced while clutch was replaced. Parking brake cable had seized during winter; seized cable was removed. On this trip both cables were replaced.
116500 mi US $985	Worn pendulum engine mount and left engine mount caused engine to rock while car was in motion. Parts were replaced. Valve cover gasket leaking oil. VW does not sell gasket separately; only sells entire valve cover.
124300 mi US $370	Passenger front spring is broken. Both front springs were replaced.
132 mi US $850	Headlamp switch (aftermarket item) did not always switch on headlights or dashboard lights. Switch was replaced. Backup lamps were not working but the bulbs tested OK. Replaced reverse-lamp switch on transmission as well as a corroded pigtail off that switch. Rear window washer stream was weak and followed the arc of the wiper instead of spraying on the glass. Mechanic suggested only the nozzle needed to be replaced. Behavior after the repair is similar to what it was before. It is possible the nozzle can be adjusted for better coverage on the glass, which may be enough to address most of the problem as it is likely the ultimate fix is replacing the rear washer motor. Windshield washer fluid reservoir low-level warning light remains on even when the reservoir is full. After discussing the cost of returning function to factory condition, I agreed to let the mechanic bypass the circuit so the light remains out regardless of fluid level. Intake manifold packed with soot, which affected acceleration and fuel economy. Part was removed, "washed", and reattached. Some parts connected to the manifold also needed to be cleared. Alarm system sometimes arms itself after driver gets in the car but before the car is started. When a door is opened or the car started at that point, the alarm goes off. Mechanic tried to read car diagnostics but says some component is flooding the diagnostic line with noise, so he can't fully isolate the component causing this issue. He has suggested swapping out the door latch assembly, but at its price and because the problem does not lock me out of the car or immobilize it, I've decided to wait to repair it. Alternator belt was frayed. It was replaced.
134000 mi US $140	Camshaft seal was worn. Discovered during timing belt replacement.

As well, the Lower Control Arm bushings were replaced due to wear. Left Inner CV joint was worn Driver's Door lock mechanism replaced due to the door switch being defective (well-known problem with these cars.) By the way: there are also defective door switches on two other doors that will require repair in the future.
228720 mi C $507	High-Pressure power steering hose (metal) corroded.
248000 mi C $113	Corrosion in the starter wiring caused a no-start condition.
249660 mi C $1200	A bit of clunking in the front end. I brought it into the one mechanic I trust, I was too busy to work on the car. He said, as long as we're in there, why not refresh everything. Ball Joints, Tie-rods, alignment. Also, front brakes. Will do struts later. Exhaust downpipe needed replacing due to corrosion.
