Sometimes wont open from remote or release switch.  Will
occasionally get trunk open warning.  Almost every time

I just found an ad in my local paper:

some dings, broken timing belt, $800
I'm curious if this is something I should look into? I usually post in

While working on a used Jetta, I had to remove the battery connection. When
