We've had our 2004 VW Jetta GL TDI for 2 years. It's an automatic and we haven't been thrilled with the mileage we get. We live in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts. Recently we've been having an electrical (?) problem. The car gets jerky and stutters a little while all the lights on the dash and the radio flash off and on. It seems to mostly happen after the car has been sitting overnight - possibly after rain - mostly when it's cold. Sometimes you can drive through it and it goes away. Sometimes you have to to start the car again and that will take care of it. It is also starting to have trouble starting. It takes up to 5 turns of the ignition. It turns over each time, but won't sustain. The last shop to look into it changed the glo plugs and did an early oil change. Neither helped. Anyone have any thoughts?
We'd really like to find someone locally to help maintain it whose not too far of a drive. South Hadley, Granby, Chicopee, Belchertown, Amherst area.
Thanks,
Anne
