and starer good. they replaced the intake manifold that had a hole and then it

well, your car's getting old- and VWs are not the most reliable of cars- and the company is not the most honest- if you want to keep it, and continue to rely on it in adverse weather, get used to the towing thing- I would get rid of it and get something more solid-
