I hate VWs
My girl has a Jetta, and the other day she calls me freaking out because her door lock cylinder just started spinning with the key in it and she had an assignment that was due soon which was in the car. The lock cylinder then just pops out.
It's the only keyhole on the entire car. German engineering? ---- that they're only good for funny commercials. Ended up having AAA send a crazy old man from the local key shop to slim jim it open. He smelled funny but he was good ----.
Later the "power" locks stop working. I realized that they aren't really power locks at all, but a terrific pneumatic system with air tubes running all over the place to open the locks. That's gonna be fun to troubleshoot.
At least it's a V6 so it's not a total turd, but I still hate VWs.

I heard using half a tennis ball over the lock mechanism. When compressed activates the pneumatic locking mechanism, fooling it into opening the central locking.
I know this worked on mercedes and some vw's possibly including the jetta?
