I changed a transmission on a 2001 Jetta TDI. It was the job from hell. I much prefer working on Mercedes. You need a computer just to check the transmission fluid level. The VW's are very light and tinny in my opinion. Although with 6 air bags they might have a safety advantage depending on the circumstances.
