Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON I-80, I MOVED TO THE OFF RAMP , AND WHEN I PUSHED THE CLUTCH, IT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE 2006 JETTA TDI WITH 26 000 MILES NOW NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL, $1700 REPAIR BILL. THE NEW CLUTCHA ND FLYWHEEL WERE NOT THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE BEEN UPGRADED BY VOLKWAGEN, WHY? MAYBE THE ORIGINAL CLUTCH WAS DEFECTIVE. OR VOLKSWAGEN DID NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE ADDED TORQUE OF THE NEW PD ENGINE. VERY ANNOYING. *AK
