2002 Volkswagen Jetta Pros and Cons A member in California, United States The auto transmission is an abysmal failure. DO NOT buy a VW of any type with the 01M (late 90s through early 2000s) auto transmission unless it has already been replaced with a $5000 FACTORY REPLACEMENT UNIT ONLY! The original auto will fail. |
