Unfortunately they were known for lifters and cams wearing out along with various suspension and ABS issues among other things. I loved driving it but never stopped fixing it. It never left me stranded but I limped home many times.

The car fleet within Mexico is almost entirely Made in Mexico and you still see plenty of cars as far back as the 70s driving around in daily use. Mexico has been manufacturing vehicles since the 1930s. It's not like every vehicle there is also a lemon. The pick up trucks are especially impressive as over there people actually use pick up trucks for doing actual work and you'll see some 40 year old models still in battle going strong even when far past their lifespan Whatever decline in quality that comes out manufacturing in Mexico has more to do with the manufacturer who still oversees the quality control, factory design, material selection etc. That's especially relevant when you consider some car companies are run by penny pincher salesmen instead of automotive engineers. GM is an especially bad example of that. Sometimes when auto makers go overseas they not only try to save a buck through cheap foreign labor but they also start cutting costs elsewhere and the host country gets the blame. Not every German working to put together VolksWagen is an automotive engineer either. Assembly lines are for the most part routine work. You also have to remember in countries like Mexico the work environment is EXTREMELY competitive as having a job at a large foreign company like that is a blessing and for every worker there's 1000 other people ready to pounce on their job if they slack off in anyway. So you better believe they work their asses off and do the best job they can, the work ethic there is much higher than it is in the USA and a job like that is hard to come by. Don't blame Mexico, China, etc for the differences in quality, blame the manufacturer who's trying to make extra cash. Plenty of quality stuff comes out of Mexico. I remember buying a water pump for my 1966 Mustang while I was in Mexico. The new part was solid as a brick and made quite well unlike many of the new replacements you can find at auto zone that you can still see melted pepsi cans in the metal work. On the side of that new water pump it said "MEXICO". Similarly an uncle of mine owns a VW van with a Mexican 1600 that just doesn't stop. We still have my grandads Mexican 1974 F-600 dump truck which is still used regularly to this day.

@robskyle Жыл бұрын

@@SocraticMind89 Mexicans work hard even when they are in the US, so I get what you're saying, but production line work SUCKS. The US have unions for the people that work on the line, but the Mexicans aren't protected. This means they get paid slave wages and possibly work in unsafe conditions. I'm not saying they don't work hard, but when you're overworked and underpaid at possibly one of the most tedious tasks known to man in probably unsafe (by US standards) conditions your work will suffer. That's just being a human. I doubt the domestic Mexican auto manufacturers treat their employees like slaves, plus they have pride in making cars for their own country.

We owned an early production 1999 1/2 "New Jetta" built in Puebla. It had normal vacuum brake boost. The vacuum lines were hard plastic tubing on barbed fittings, and one split near the end. The factory part was sold as an assembly for hundreds, but I fixed it with a NAPA hose for $13.00. We kept it for 18 years and 160,000 miles with no major repairs at all. We got rid of it when it started having electrical problems and other plastic parts started getting brittle and breaking. The motor and the five speed trans were still going strong. My wife doesn't put on many miles, so it was dying of old age.

The simpler the vehicle, the easier it is to repair. Ford's Model T was so designed that the person of average mechanical skill could do minor repairs. Of course the car was arguably the worst car on the road at one time because it crowded out anything worse. Obviously we have some complexity built into cars out of concerns for safety (collapsible steering columns, crumpling bumpers, air bags), and emission controls (catalytic converters). All else not basic can break down.

As long as you steer clear of the vw dealers and have your vw serviced at an independent audi/vw dealer, you will save tons of money and your beloved vw will run strong and long.

@@Jason-gj1pu I mean that's not to surprising considering how much of it is probably "raw raw american is better" regardless of opinion. I'm just surprised at how much respect Japan has gained even for those type of people. Honestly the real motto to understand is really just that quick autozones and all dealerships just suck. The reality is if you don't wanna have to do it yourself or be cautious about where you take it, you need a mechanic you trust. Simple as that

Loved the old Beetles. Had a 67 in high school. When I was stationed in Germany in the Army, I bought a 64 for about $400. It broke down and I bought a 63 rag top for $300. Used the 64 for parts on the 63. My beetle drove great in the snow. The Mercedes and Audi's would be sliding trying to get up a hill and my Beetle up putted by them.

You can get any part for your VW in FCP euro and they will also give you life time warranty for EVERY PART even oil, and even in Mexico is easy to find VW parts because they're made over there. That vacuump pump replacement was a scam you don't need any special tools to fix or replace it

I have a 2013 SEAT Ibiza which is a 2013 VW Polo with better styling and a sportier chassis. My one is in what they call the FR trim which is the model range below the high performance Cupra models. Its built at the Spanish VW plant but compared to the actual VW models it is actually less complicated and not too full of technology and still has keep fit windows in the rear and manual transmission. I have done over 73,000 miles from new in it (that is high to some people in the UK) and the only issues I ever had with it are a few months after I brought it new as the turbo failed (its electronic) and recently it has developed a creaking noise around the suspension area which is common with all VW's as its due to the anti roll bar bushes. However some of the engines on the higher powered Cupra's or the Czech cousin the Skoda Fabia VRS models of the same age do suffer with terrible oil burning and people have had to have engines replaced or rebuilt.

After appealing to VW America, I was able to trade in. Btw these were the TDI’s that VW lied about their emissions. Learn from my mistake and avoid VW at all costs. I now have a Camry and love it!
