Volkswagen Golf Repair

The Volkswagen Golf has always been known as a performance car. Powerful yet fuel efficient engines usually tops the list of its most loved features. And not to be ignored are its handling capability and interior comforts, as well as the practicality that its hatchback body style has.

And although a new Volkswagen Golf would surely amaze you in all aspects, it will cost you much in repairs in the long run.

 

To answer all these quality issues, Volkswagen provides all of its cars with an exceptional warranty. A basic warranty of 4 years/50,000 miles coupled with powertrain warranty of 5 years/60,000 miles proves to be one of the best in the industry, far better than most of its competitors like BMW and Mercedes-Benz. A 12 year limited warranty against corrosion protection and 4 year, 24 hours roadside assistance is also provided for. However, all these warranty packages does not cover wear and tear, which are the usual repair problems with the parts of the Volkswagen Golf.

 

Aside form the wear and tear of parts, the Volkswagen Golf also experiences major problems on its engine. Occasional problems points to the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and the timing belt. Other problematic parts are the ignition coils, intake manifolds and the water pump. Replacement and repair costs for these parts, especially the MAF sensor and timing belt, are fairly high.
