2003 VW Jetta welcome VHS: Driving Your Jetta

VHS tape that came with your new 2003 Volkswagen!

[@ma5599]

I think we can all relate to the beginning with our key when we first got a vw/audi!

[@alexantilla3926]

That dude playing with the key in the beginning is totally me😂 I'll always just play with it even in my pocket😂

[@patrickmichaellangan576]

ant_the_panda and year’s later, VWs (without keyless start) still have that “Switchblade Key”.

[@YOBEONE]

Called "Bora" in France. Single owner of mine from 20 years and 300 456kms, and it will do more...

[@pixelcode]

this car is more than 10 years old, but still ROCKS!!! :)

[@rykerredman6691]

pixelcode 17 years old now :D and still cool!

[@gabrielflorentino6080]

@@rykerredman6691 what 17. its now 19 years old

[@PDXJack87]

This was a great generation.

[@Jushwa]

20 years still rockinnnn

[@swayze693]

i have been obsessed w VW’s since i was around 7. i made my dad bring me to the dealer and i knew he was EMBARRASSED in the early 00’s. my first car i bought in 2011 was a MK4 2.0 GLS. i’ll never forget that car…or the crayon smell🤣 every car until july 2023 was a VW/audi…best years of my life. i now own a jaguar.

[@LamborghiniReven1000]

I need to download this to accompany my 2003 Jetta GLI, it's the same color too!

[@K2ToCold]

I just bought my first car and it was a 2003 Jetta GLS. Lol I found this video and I’ve been happy ever since

[@oFailBoat]

I just bought my first Jetta 😂 2004 2.0

[@tiko5876]

oFailBoat 2 point slow baby. Reliable as all hell. I like the drive ability of the 03 1.8t but it’s not as fuel efficient or reliable as your 2.0. Take care of that thing. Coil packs, spark plugs, make sure your motor mounts and suspension is good and she’ll go forever.

[@SuperEtab]

I wish cars were still this simple. No fuss.

[@dopiaza2006]

This video made me go and get my key and play with it for a few minutes!

[@tacoguy7654]

Now I want a Jetta. Das Auto.

[@johnathanblanco458]

I have an 04 tdi with close to 300k miles now, best car I’ve ever owned, best era of vw

[@AgentTwisted]

ok so i didnt know the key/window thing and that blew my mind. ive had a 01 jetta tdi for awhile and it worked on my car.

[@vianna100]

From Brasil.....very nice video. I have one GLS 2.0.....still Rock's...i love this car.Is perfect ando so powerfull. Here in Brasil, VW's loved. thks man!!

[@rileysmith9843]

Fabio R V I’ve owned a Gol. Great car from the first mile/kilometer.

[@jeepguy95]

Nice vid! Thanks for posting! My one teacher has a 2002 which is identical to the 2003 and now I can tell him more about his car (:

[@wowbryant]

Don’t get “scooby doo’d” over the CEL

[@SurfaceSatyrr]

mine is almost identical with this, awesome car. if you don't know anything about transmission issues. (these cars may have them :/ )

[@ReptiAddict]

Vw for life

[@GreaterpurposePodcast]

The automatic transmissions came out bad that's it.

[@Shadow79XXX]

The best commercial of my car, ever! :)

Looks cool in white!:-) I have one in white too.

[@dinahmatengo4847]

[@jeffjonesboss]

The guy let the gas cap hang on the car, it has a slot so you can hook it on the inside of the gas cap lol

[@longshotmaster]

What I’ve never noticed that

[@jaimefrick7944]

Haha my check engine lamp is always on haha and I have 2003 vw Jetta is has 206909 miles and still runs like new

good video, It as a lot of great information!

[@vrtbarber]

Staring at that blue 24v 😍😍😍

[@Retropizzapaws]

32:00 A Federal Signal Thunderbolt makes a cameo appearance

[@td0911]

I wish my key did most of what it was supposed to do. I wish it could lower the windows!

[@THEFIRE360]

love the jetta, mine is died at 15 (2002 model) last weekend lol, i think engine died (engine light blinking) and sputters and dies when i try to start it

[@StormchaserNickGorman]

I had the same issue. Turned out to be the fuel pump failing. (Sorry for the late reply)

[@nlibby5549]

For those reading now, that's the fuel pump. Mine died in my 2004 with same symptoms. Cost $468 at a shop to replace.

[@tiko5876]

Nicole Lane YOOO WHAT. YOU COULDVE LEGIT DONE THAT YASELF AND SAVED SO MUCH. Fr fr I never suggest home repair but dude, they just lifted your rear seat, unscrewed the fuel pump and replaced it 🤣 I mean it’s literally plug and play (with a little bit of careful prying/jiggling)

[@justicefireeatingdiscopand6989]

The only fluid we ever put in a Jetta with power steering

[@romulus_]

had this car since 2006 and i've paid my fair share in repairs. 161k miles now, 2 alternators, water pump & timing belt, fuel pump, and all the usual maintenance...seemingly all the main components except the transmission and engine. it needs new control arms but I'm not spending on that. ah well, it's been okay to me other than costing me a small fortune in repairs. will drive it into the ground.

[@sebastian-daquanglocknerjr1883]

if you have a 2006 its a mk5

[@romulus_]

Daquan Jr. it's a 2003. purchased in 2006. and i ended up having to buy the control arms just now, haha. still running well overall, 177k miles.

[@sebastian-daquanglocknerjr1883]

Zapp Rogerstein mines got 180k kms and shes mint aside from front calipers and the exhaust being redone

[@jaimefrick7944]

Omg I have a 2003 vw jetta and it had 206909 miles on it and runs great still

[@tiko5876]

Jaime Frick you make me hopeful for my gls I just bought. 109,500 miles it’s a 1.8t though so it’s been driven harder.

[@patrickmichaellangan576]

My FAV Jetta is the GLI.

[@rtmotovlogs7235]

I have this vhs still in the plastic

[@anavaleriaespinozacastro399]

Muy buen videos gracias

[@missionaccompli]

LOL @ 6:35! as with any VW, next to using the key, the Check Engine light is the most important thing to familiarize yourself with.

[@bichonfrisenewtonhitchkock4349]

Why did use a Gustavo's Cerati song???? I'm surprised

[@arcMexi]

I went today sunday to the tianguis (market) del automóvil and bought this car =)

How do I load multiple cd's in the Monsoon sound system in my 2003 Jetta?

[@eatp8nt]

Did you figure it out?...

[@speelane2000]

No it only takes one cd at a time

[@eatp8nt]

Not sure if you still have it but when I had mine it was in the trunk

[@talonsx494]

my ma has the diesel, she says no major problems besides the filter

What size is the stereo car?

anyone like the stock santa montica rims

Is it true that VWs in North America are absolute crap for reliability?

[@thetechlibrarian]

runforit420 compared to what? There definitely not a Toyota or Honda

[@johnkoops8541]

Yes

[@marinoda08]

I have a 2003 GLI exactly like the one in the video except black. To date I've only replaced the cooling fans and thermostat. Everything else is original at 160,000 miles / 15 years old including the brake pads, a/c, radiator, alternator, etc. There were some minor door lock issues once also, but I've never been stranded, never had an outrageous repair bill.. I couldn't ask for a more reliable car, but I've also treated it right.

[@matthewbrown9336]

@@marinoda08 Many people don't understand the importance of treating your car well, and then they blame every issue that pops up on the car, and they don't accept responsibility for neglecting the car!

[@oFailBoat]

Matthew Brown facts. I just got mine and mechanic said all the hoses need to be changed ASAP. This definitely Honda or Toyota these cars HAVE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF OR ELSE. It’s worth it the way it rides and don’t get me started on that powerful sound system

[@fernandogcastillo862]

The jetta Mk3 is better.. alwais
