Hey, i have an early edition 06 jetta tdi. when i first got it within 2k miles i had a problem with the clutch. My clutch pedal stuck to the floor and the car stalled... i had to have the clutch replaced. After that i had an issue with the transmission 'whinning.' It sounded like a jet engine warming up. Had it looked at and the transmissiona nd clutch had to be replaced again. That was at about 5k miles.
So, time goes on and i get this weird light... my airbag light. They had to replace the drivers airbag. The light goes off and then 2k miles later the light goes on again. They had to replace the steering wheel harness.
Okay, skip forward 2 months from the airbag... I rolled the car onto its side in a really bad storm in Vermont. They took the car down, towed it, replaced the panels, and did a check. No structural damage only minor body work. Even my mirror stayed on! I was thrilled, no big damage. Now, i get everything fixed and the body shop did a horrible job, but they aren't VW, so i was expecting a little B.S. with the workmanship. So, i have the car for about a month, it's running good, i'm at a stop light. It turns green and i speed up. I go to shift into 2nd gear and surprise surprise the clutch sticks to the floor again. I let up and then i hear a thunk and the engine whines down, the car stops itself, and it stalls. I could not get it out of gear for the life of me. I was stuck on a highway, in the fast lane, with a dead car, during morning rush hour, on my way into NYC...
I took it to the dealership and they said that the transmission was crack, the clutch was completely shredded, and two motor mounts had broken which twisted the engine and cracked the block. They said it was due to the accident... the accident which i had my car check afterwards at 3 different locations including one VW daler in New Hampshire. So long story short, the dealership is not covering the 12000 worth of damage and neither is my insurance.
So, i write this all to ask, is there an issue with the new transmissions? I understand i have a ton of torque compared to casoline cars and my theory is that the tranny siezed which destroyed my clutch and twisted my engine, not the other way around like the dealership states.
I'm the only person i have ever heard of having these problems. I've heard of a few electrical problems, which i can understand but there transmissions are supposed to be the new 'bulletproof' transmission and i'm not even shooting bullets at it and i'm on the third one!
So, the car has 36k miles and an extended 7/70000 bumper to bumper warrenty on it. It's too late to yell that it's a lemon, especially since the dealership states it's part of the accident (which it's not).
So now you know the story, anyone have any specs on the MK5 transmission? Have any idea how much torque would be needed in order to crack the transmission? and have any other idead what migt cause the entire 90hp engine to completely twist? It's not like you can just shift and crack a transmission.
Thanks!
