I hope you're right. I'll update later if that turns out to be the case. Thanks!
Our last Jetta, a mk4 1.8T wagon, never shook at all, and was the smoothest running VW (out of 19 so far) we've ever owned. I miss it already

I have an 02 Vw Jetta 1.8t and that thing is a dream and also prob one of the best years and tunable of the Vw.I hope you're right. I'll update later if that turns out to be the case. Thanks!

Maybe, but with such a new car? Only a few months old... maybe they missed putting a filter in because we can smell the windshield wiper fluid inside the car when using it. Anyone else experience that? Never was able to smell so many outside smells inside any other VW we've had. It's weird.

Ours was an 04, so it had the 180 hp engine (with Magnaflow turbo back exhaust)... I miss the awesome power of the 1.8T, and German build quality of the wagon. But, do like the larger back seat since we have 2 kids in car seats, the fantastic fuel economy, and not having to use premium gasoline with this new Jetta.
Not gonna lie about that I’ve got 48 Mpg average cruising at 79 mph highway at night.

I can smell the wiper fluid if I have the button to let the outside air come in. And trust me a lot of smelly cattle where I live so I keep it on. It depends a lot on dust and pollen and many other things. Rotten smell like egg? Maybe someone threw an egg on ur car lol jk jk

Car has now been in the shop for 13 days... still not fixed. However the time in the shop prior to this time when they said they fixed the issue i scanned the ecm out of curiosity and even though there was no check engine light i found a pending file with the same codes i took the car in for. Feel like im being dicked around. VW has made this a "tier 2" warrenty issue, whatever that may be...

Why you think they call it the stealership? Man just tell us the codes maybe here in the forum we can help. That’s bs I’m sorry to hear that bro.

The dealer told me yesterday that my car is possibly the "unicorn"... they are now swapping injectors. They have checked timing, new plugs, coil packs, fuel pump.

Makes me wonder... did some reading-and lots of people say it’s ignition related and people often changes fuel and ignition components. Cam sensor maybe? Was there anything you felt different about it like the idle or the spool up time or anything out of the ordinary?

I don’t know mine was assembled in Mexico... Puebla I think. And I’m still going around no issues. But who knows.

The only reason I ask is because in the MKV forum, people were experiencing problems based on where their car was assembled. That made me look at the sticker first before buying my rabbit at the time.
