Diesel 'Dub' (MkIV Jetta Content)

[MrJereMoose]

So with my commute this year, and my M3 getting on the back burner, I needed a practical daily.

So I went to go look at a TDI in Vermont today, and drove it home (It averaged 43mpg on the way)


It's a little rough around the edges, but it should do the job.
I plan to leave it stock through the winter at least...
...then I will start thinking about air

I'm new to VWs in general, so any help would be appreciated.

Took off window shades, hubcaps, and pin striping

Nice. Seems look a good car. I love those TDI's! I'm a 1.8t guy, though.

[MrJereMoose]

Yeah, If I hadn't found a tdi i probably would have wound up with a 1.8T

This car ended up being a piece of junk and has caused me more than a few headaches...
The through the fall and winter this car has been in and out of the repair shop from many reasons:
Cracked oil pan at stock height
A very needed brake job
Brake warning light
Brake warning light again
Airbag light
Airbag light again
Seized lock cylinder
Broken key (The only one I had)
Key programing at VW
Clutch
Flywheel
and many more things that I was able to mend myself.

The good news is that it is still a great commuter car...
It gets about 43 miles to the gallon on the Connecticut back roads that I commute on.
I found out that it has a 2004 engine, which is cool I guess. It's good for 20 more horsepower or something...
It now has some upgrades like a skid plate, and some aesthetic modifications.
I'll take some pictures when I get it back from the garage this week.

It looks even more like a piece of junk, but it's cooler than stock.
I'm working on a deal for some cheap, played out wheels.
I plan to be good to go for the UConn car show on April 9th. That's the plan anyway...
