My repair was crude, involved soldering, and copious amounts of heat shrink tubing.\u00a0 I cut open the rubber conduit where the wires had failed, and soldered the broken wires back together. I then heat-shrink-ed a few layers on top of each other to repair the conduit.\u00a0 I don’t expect this repair to last forever.\u00a0 The Internet says a few weeks, but I’m more optimistic than that.\u00a0 A better repair is to replace the section of wire in the flexible area\u00a0 and make the splices in a static area.\u00a0 An even better idea would be to not design something that could be failure prone like this.<\/p>\n
Overall, the Jetta is a great product, but poor design choices like this would probably change opinions overall on a product.\u00a0\u00a0 People communicate with each other these days, and exchange notes about technical issues like these. To the common person, it might seem like VW’s have a lot of electrical problems after all.<\/p>\n

People say that VW’s have a lot of electrical problems.\u00a0 I’m not sure thats really true.\u00a0 Cars are certainly more complicated than they used to be.\u00a0 This is sometimes driven … <\/p>\n
