1993 Volkswagen Jetta Questions & Answers

  • How much can my Volkswagen tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Jetta’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
