Eu tenho um gol 2001. As \u00fanicas manuten\u00e7\u00f5es esse ano foram a correia dentada que troquei preventivamente, e a bomba de combust\u00edvel que travou. Muito pouco pra um carro desse ano.

Pros: troquei correia dentada
Cons: bomba de combust\u00edvel travou
Vehicle: Volkswagen Gol

I went that route and haven’t had any issues, a cold snap of -28f finally did mine in a few years ago after hitting 300k.

MK6 GTI

I've only had one warranty issue, a fuel pump was acting up. Didn't strand me or anything but was causing a rough idle due to cuting out one time. Restarted the car and it was fine, took it to the dealer anyway and they replaced all the fuel pumps under warranty.

Pros: replaced under warranty
Cons: fuel pump acting up
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Took great care of my Passat. Recommended oil change interval 10k; I changed every 6k. All oil and fluid changes at the dealership. I only did the filters, spark plugs and serpentine belt.

Problems -

Purge valve has to be replaced at 40k (warranty)

Control arms at 45k (warranty) + alignment

Fuel pump at 62k ($1600)

Entire cooling system replacement at 64k ($3100)

I believe hot weather and cheap plastic causing more harm to this car.

Pros: oil changes at dealership
Cons: fuel pump, cooling system
Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 62000 km

I had the fuel pump die on my vehicle, I replaced it against my better judgement with an airtex (cheapo) pump because it was available and cheap. 6 months later I’m dead on the side of the highway again. Warrantied it with the same pump… lasted 4 months this time before I was stuck again. Replaced it with a delphi brand (oem supplier and almost 3x the price) and it lasted 6 years until I junked the vehicle due to rust.

Pros: Delphi lasted six years
Cons: Airtex failed quickly
