Question I have a 1999 Jetta, 106,000 miles ...it suddenly began to smoke badly, I took it to the shop, they replaced the coolant temp sensor, coolant flush, radiator flush, valve cover gasket and water pump, I picked it up ran fine for a day, it began to smoke again...cost a pretty penny..in addition when I picked up the car the odometer and speedometer weren't working, they were functioning properly when I brought it in (they told me to bring it in on Monday so they could fix that)it has been a hassle....it smokes when idling, temp gauge drops all the way down...I am pretty sure I am trading it in, but I at least want it working properly for a month or two until I decide what kind of car I want to purchase...in addition, since I have paid for the "repairs" they should either fix it properly or give me my money back so I can take it elsewhere..your suggestions, as far as what the problem is will be appreciated
Answer Tell me, Patricia, what color is the smoke? Is it light grey, or white? Is it dark grey, or black? Also, is this an early production "A3" platform car, or is it a late production "A4" platform car, and what kind of engine do you have? Thank you for your patience, I will help as much as I can.
