Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CAR BEGAN TO IDLE POORLY AND STALL, BECOMING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE CAR WAS CHECKED FOR ERROR CODES AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE SERVICE DEPT QUOTED OVER $400 TO REPAIR. SPOKE WITH AN INDEPENDENT PARTS STORE, THEY SAID THE SAME PART IS USED IN 4 CYL AND 6 CYL 2000 JETTA'S, AND VW IS CHARGING AROUND $60 FOR THE 4 CYL AND WELL OVER $150 FOR THE 6 CYL, FOR THE SAME PART. I HAVE THE 2000 6 CYL JETTA AND THEY WOULD NOT SELL ME THE PART.
