have you checked the car itself
cos it sounds more like its a rebadged honda or, mitsi than a super reliable, very cheap and easy to fix golf

I'll give you $100 for it :D but hey, my last golf I owned was technically dead, and some kind chappie paid me $700 for it - if you let yours die too, it might increase the resale value

told you the trans is gona crap it self if it gest coolant in and is not flushed imediatly with new filter and all. i also told you that its not straight forward on the mk4 , morons wont be able to service that it requires speciall filler tools i posted you the website with pictures how its done in your last thread maybe you should print it out and show the morons who are messing with your car.

even a reliable toyota trans will crap it self if it gets coolant water gets in the lowest point of the trans and it wont go anywhere till it is removed phisically with dumping the sump of the transmission. A mk4 golf is regarded by morons as not servicable but it is you just need to know how.

Ruthhave you returned the car to the dealership every time for repair! To be honest normally I say give the dealer fair shake of the stick but this time I'm thinking tis time to return the car and get your money back. It does sound like you have a lemon

you dont understand do you vw have got a transmission fluid that is called a lifetime fluid well that is the understanding now livetime is not what it sounds to be , you murder somone and get live is also only 20 years sometimes only 7 . because of this most places wont service the transmission till its making a pooo. If you buy a manual for a vw witch i happen to own. there it says to replace the fluids and how. It is discribed in details , i have posted how on the last thread he made. They never serviced the transmission when the cross contermination of his broken cooling radiator happenedi also told him on the last threadthat exactly what has happend now will happen.

Lifetime fluids generally refer to around the 100,000k mark I've found in most cases!

And parts for them are so cheap that they make the $2 shop stuff look expensive.

Apparently if you look into a mirror and say its name three times it appears. ooorrr maybe that's the Candyman, either way both are quite scary one will take your soul the other will take over your thread.

continental cars will just charge you 112$ and fix nothing. a client took them to court when his tdi blew up cam belt replacment was only charged for never done on the vehicle. go figure ,,,,,, that one you only ever go to gilltrap if you want the job done right not cheap but they got all work on record years after still . I rang gilltrap to ask on a few items of my tdi because it was not fully discribed what they done and they told me straight away every serviced item its all in there computer log like professional mains dealers should be.
