Several years ago, a couple of strictly monitored church educated high school girls ended up pregnant, despite being adult supervised 24 hours a day. It turned out they had been sitting on their boyfriends' laps on the school bus.

Re: [MBZ] VWTD
Don't you love it when businesses try to charge you twice for something they should have done right in the first place? If anything, they should give you a partial refund for screwing up. When I had an oil change done by Honda, they didn't tighten the drain plug enough, so when I got home I found I was leaking oil. I went back, they tightened the plug, added oil, and gave me a free air filter to compensate me for my lost time. That's a dealership I still go to. That, and the Acura dealer that gave me a brand-new TL as a loaner for the shitty-ass Integra I turned in for a new timing belt.

Lee heard: "the service tech explaining to a young lady with a new bug that yes, it was just her headlight bulb that was burned out, but that in order to get to it they had to dismantle the front trim and sheet metal and the labor would be $175. That just ain't right." I had to get that done. It is a royal PITA the service guy told me. Things had to be removed in the engine compartment to get to the bulb. They hate doing it. The charge was $46, however.What was really neat was that the day after I had mine replaced, it was burnt out again. I took it back and they wanted to charge me $46 again to change it out...until I started to question weather or not the ham-handed tech was touching the bulb with his dirty paws as he was installing it. They figured out Bubba was touching the bulbs as he was putting them in and the had a rash of immediate failures, but most people were just repaying the $46. Not me, by gawd.

My friend in KC has a Beetle TDI. He said it was great until it hit 60K, Now it is in the shop so frequently that it costs an average of $300-500 per month.

Re: [MBZ] VWTD
Chris mentioned: "I was told the new bugs and VW's in general nowadays were very prone to breakdown and bad dealer support. The fact that my parents' Jetta was a TOTAL LEMON didn't help that. I like the TDI bugs, what can you tell us about your experience?" My Bug has been flawless both mechanically and cosmetically. I've had a headlight bulb replaced, a rear headrest replaced, and the rear brakes replaced...all under warrenty. Well...the brakes were actually a recall thing I seem to remember. It has consistantly got 46mpg (auto, AC, girl driven). It goes like a scalded dog. I need to get the timing BELT done soon (VW says 60K if auto) so that will be the first real work that has ever been done. Having used M1 since new, I expect everything to be perfect inside when the do the timing belt. I really wish it had a timing chain. All in all, I'd say my experience with the Bug has been great.

Re: [MBZ] VWTD
I was very loyal to VW (family owned bugs & microbusses since the '50s) but our experience with a 95 Jetta changed that. Their trannys are supposedly sealed, no fluid check or add needed, good for a lifetime. Doesn't work out that way in practice, though. The *%&$ trans seal tended to dry out and then leak. No way to check the fluid level, so when the trans would start to slip, we would bring it in to the dealership, and would be told either that they could not duplicate the problem, or 1). Yes, the trans is under warranty, but 2). Fluids and seals are not covered and 3). They would replace the seal and add new fluid for the low low cost of $600 or thereabouts. Happened twice. Then the trans died completely, and they tried to reneg on the warranty. I ended up spending several days on this issue, going to two dealerships, being lied to and generally screwed around, and finally had to have the case elevated to a regional manager with VW before they would honor their warranty. A word to the wise on the new Beetles. Whilst I was in the waiting room of the dealership's service department, I heard the service tech explaining to a young lady with a new bug that yes, it was just her headlight bulb that was burned out, but that in order to get to it they had to dismantle the front trim and sheet metal and the labor would be $175. That just ain't right. Lee Christopher McCann wrote: I was told the new bugs and VW's in general nowadays were very prone to breakdown and bad dealer support.

Re: [MBZ] VWTD
You're right, I'm sure he was a saint at BJU.. Really, I was trying to fend off the onslaught of "your younger than my grandson" e-mails that we get when the late twenty/early thirty year olds "come out of the closet" as being youngsters. The "why the hell do I pay social security tax generation" Whoopee, I'll get $400 a month, enough to buy dinner at McDonalds in 2040. I digress. Time for coffee and a cigarette and on to the ad I should be working on. Tschuss!

Re: [MBZ] VWTD
My bet is that it will fire right up as soon as I get a key for it. Charged the battery up overnight and will be pouring in some on the Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement to attack any water that might (or more likely, did) collect in the tank during storage.
