Well, This will be my third thread on the forums. Although this isn't a golf, it shares a lot of the same components being a 2.0t with a FSI. I've spent a lot of time on these forums with my other cars so I'm just going to put the thread here.
My rabbit is gone, to replace it I picked up this super clean 08' Wolfsburg Jetta, It was very well taken care of, lots of maintenance records which I appreciate, never in an accident. It's manual trans and drives fantastic.
An hour after I bought it I took it to my buddies house and put it on the lift, was shocked at how clean everything was. The undercarriage looks like it has never seen a winter. I later found out this car spent most of it's life in South Carolina where it never saw any salt. Win win for me.
Day 1 I threw a new cam follower in. The one I took out was worn but not badly, it had definitely been replaced already which was great to see.
I went over to FCPEURO and ordered a bunch of maintenance items, The tstat is on it's way out, taking a long time to warm up, figured since I don't know when this other stuff was last changed I might as well get it out of the way. Up first is:
I'll probably leave the car along for a while, might eventually throw a k04 and tune on. I'm skipping the stage 1/2 if I tune it though and just going to put a k04 on straight away.
