1997 jetta thinking about buying a jetta what should you watch out for what is the good and bad on a 1997 vw jetta?
most 97 jettas tend to have problems with automatic transmissions.


I just traded in my '97 VW Jetta GLX towards a '04 Jetta GL. Here are all the problems I had with the '97 Jetta over the 4 years I owned it;

Water pump was replaced, wiring in the doors to the windows went out (all of them), the motor to one of the back windows went out, heater core one day leaked all over my legs and had to replace, all the upper radiator hoses were disintegrating and had to replace, the fog lights worked half the time, the a/c quit, the cruise control quit, and the throttle body was going but I traded it.

Even though I had all these problems with my car I still loved it. The motor was great at 150k miles and it was fun to drive. I'll be in a VeeDub for a while...
