I know a small amount about VW diesels so I need some input for experienced Vdub guys
My wifes 2010 Honda CRV is toast....200K on it and the motor has been a lemon since we bought in new. It guzzles 4-5 quarts of oil between oil changes since about 40K miles. Honda says this is within spec :doh:
We are in the market for a gently used vehicle that will fit our two boys 6 & 7
I am trying to talk her into a VW jetta sport wagon (she wants honda odyssey)
We are trying to buy used from 2010-2016
Any known issues with the jetta wagon I should know about? I know how important it is to use the correct oil in the VW diesels but have no proof buying used if they did.
I've found several 2012-2013 Jetta wagons in and around my area for 12-15K with 50-100K miles. Are these newer engines like the much older ones that can go 300K miles + with the correct care?
She commutes 70 miles a day to work and we take her car on long trips. Always have that fear of getting stranded. Fortunately her honda has never left us stranded while on vacation, I just have to make sure I top off the oil before we leave and when we get back home. Her CRV burnes enough oil it has plugged the CAT and will do so again unless we put a new motor in it.
