Consumer Review Video - 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit S 2.5L 5 Cyl. (2 Door)
The 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit S is difficult to maintain. The main rear bulb housing needs to be removed for access to many of the tail lights, which will also require portions of trunk lining to be removed and won’t allow for reliable bub changes. The entire engine cover must be removed to access the air filter, which may be a problem on account of the multiple tools needed and generally bulky size. The battery also has cramped access that will make it difficult to replace.
However, the 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit S has its upsides. The engine coolant reservoir has unobstructed access that allows you to reliably monitor the fluid levels. Changing the fuses won’t be a problem as the fuse box covers remove with ease, and the interior one comes provided with a fuse puller. Many of the headlights are accessible without tools and by simply reaching behind their housing.
