All the models up to 2010 have disk brakes; I know that. I am asking if the 2011 models and going forward are changing to drum brakes? This is what I was told from a VW salesman. Does anyone know about this? I know you can't even get leather inside anymore and that there is a plant making the cars in Chatanooga,Tennessee here in America. It seems like the Volkswagen name isn't even really German anymore. I mean, my 2006 model was built in Mexico anyway. Take the wheels off and look. You can see the difference in disk and drum. If you don't know the difference, you shouldn't be worried. Just don't break the brakes. It has disc brakes all the way around. 2011 Jettas: S & SE models have rear drum brakes. SEL gets rear disc brakes. GLI gets rear disc brakes. The factory in Tennessee is not making cars yet. VW says next year. They will not be making the Jetta there. It will be a mid-sized car, similar in size to the Passat. Yet to be named. Yes , VW builds the Jetta and New Beetle in Mexico.
These days , it doesnt seem to matter what country a car is built in. I mean, even some of the American icon Dodge Ram pickup trucks are made in Mexico. The Ford Focus ? Mexican built. Even GM has factories there. Honda builds cars in Canada and Ohio. Toyota builds its pickup truck in Texas. M.Benz makes cars in Alabama. BMW builds cars in S.Carolina. 1 selling mid-size car in China! We own and love our 2005 Jetta. 90k miles and not a single problem. Who cares if it was assembled in Mexico? As long as the quality is there. VW still builds the Passat, Golf, GTI, and CC in Germany. Sure , my 2006 GTI and Jetta were built in different countries, but both have the same quality and reliabilty . You also asked if drum brakes were 'bad'. No they are not bad. Most small cars and even some larger cars, including some pickup trucks have drum brakes in the rear.
Mostly, its a cost issue. It costs less to make a car with drums. So the car-maker can sell the car for a little less. Most manufacturers that put drum brakes on cars put them on the rear; the fronts are disc. And while its true that discs perform a bit better in wet conditions, the average person cannot tell the difference in stopping distances. Disc brakes do perform better as far as brake fade goes, tho. But the average motorist does not engage in repeated stops from high speeds. Years from now I may be in the market for a new car. Based on our Jetta's great reliability, we will get another one. 1997 Volts wagon Pissat and it keeps over heating, i have replace the thermostat and the radiator. AC on than it over heats withing minutes. An overheating engine is a serious matter. I'm glad you acted quickly and had it taken care of.
Or thought you had it taken care of. Did you drive your Passat for very long after the overheating problem surfaced? Because if you drove it while it was overheating , the cylinder head could have cracked. Or the cyl. head gasket could be warped from the extreme temperatures. Those are the two main things that could be still causing the problem. There could be others. Also, who replaced the parts for you? If it was a VW dealer or a shop that knows VWs, they should stand behind their work. They should have checked the cyl. However, if you had someone unfamiliar with VWs do the work, perhaps they did not do the job right. Maybe something was overlooked. As with most modern cars, VW included, those doing the work must follow certain proceedures. Any way , thats my thoughts on the matter. Hope you get it solved soon. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you have a blown head gasket. That will cost a grand at least. What engine do you have? Need that info for a more specific answer.
