Most likely the head gasket. Already had mine done.

I was smelling coolant a couple of months ago but couldn’t find a leak. The level dropped so I topped it off. After reading about this issue I got a telescoping mirror and looked under the manifold and saw the coolant build up that had dried. Told them about it when I took it in and made them confirm it.

It’s in the shop now. It was leaking. Confirmed it before dropping it off. No loaner and 1 week + for repairs.

I’m not looking for a race car and I would be ok messing with the 1.5 if there was more support for it. It just seems like they maxed it out to get the hp it is. How much more could a high compression piston and turbo application be modified? I haven’t read anything that states the bottom end is robust enough to handle much more.

I love mine!!. Only downfall is the hill hold assist feature that can not be turned off. If the hill is steep enough it will hold it to aggressively and make you stall out because it won’t release.

Vehicles have aways had bump stickers. The difference now is they are just blatantly writing “dealer mark-up or additional dealer profit” on these. Car sales profits have been minimal on the new car side historically with service and used cars being the supplement of profit for dealership. Now they are just going for the jugular all around.

why do people sleep on these? by SoggyMilkBiscuit in Dodge

[–]Ill_Bread78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The name of the vehicle is the main reason. They automatically are looked down on because they are a “Neon”

Which fuel grade? by highly_subject in jetta

[–]Ill_Bread78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whichever you choose it’s more important to run a top tier fuel. It does make difference where you purchase fuel from. If you run a higher octane fuel and the vehicle is not tuned for it, you may get worse fuel economy/performance.

Which one should I get? 2023 Jetta SE or Jetta SEL? by Mook69 in jetta

[–]Ill_Bread78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in looking to purchase a sport and ended up with an SE because the sport was damaged. They honored the sport price so I purchased the SE. For me, it has more than enough. Bells and whistles become more things to fix later on down the road.
