Goals? Help my son get his car running. He is 15, bought a used 06 Jetta, 2.5 with a bad radiator, we drove it home, and started looking for parts. Grill, bumper skin, 2 fenders, chin piece, radiator, and other misc items. I say he bought it, but I did, he has already paid back the $1000. :Looking for parts I found a 06 GLI for $1000, that had everything we needed.
I talked him into the GLI, not much to say, sport vs old man Jetta, not to mention the first one has a salvage title already, the second one has a clean title. But has a few bugs that I cannot get answered at VWvortex.
So please look out for my posts and assist where you can. In the mean time I will be plugging away on my 78 Vette. I think the only real electronics in it is the radio. LOL
the gli should have a 2.0t bpy engine code and you can do a lot with those engines. Those have med9 ecus in them and some threads on them already exist. china kess will read threw port no problem/ the 2.5 is a good engine too. known for oil leaks from the pcv system, vacuum pump and valve cover. however, they will make some more power tuned on high octane fuel. Also, I forgot to mention the intake manifold are know for vacuum leaks between the head and plastic intake manifold.
