So I'm driving the winter car, a 94 Jetta. Just replaced the master cyl about a month and a half ago... it goes AGAIN... as if it wasn't hard enough to stop on the white stuff. Has anyone had any experience with Jettas? Does this happen often or did the shop just f-up?

Its a VW, everything happens again.

Had a 97 Jetta and I was getting my dash lights light up more then the freaking christmas tree.

Glad I got rid of that car. :)

^--- I never got that.. well, when I dealt with the service manager at least.

I don't get why their service reps are so craptacular...

I've never had a problem with Ford, really. We had that one dustup last year when their one rep made a really bad comment about my wife / our relationship. They apologized profusely (to her satisfaction) and we've never had a problem since.

At the end of the day,

1. Car ownership and useage is a PRIVALIGE, not a right...

2. Speed Costs money....so how fast do you wanna go?

3. My lugnuts have more torque than a Honda

Bleeding Ford Blue again...
