MKIIs are my favorite, when i was younger i thought i would never drive anything else. They are just getting too old. However I wouldnt mind one with a VR swap someday. BTW Ive had 1 Rabbit, 2 MKII jettas, 1MKII golf, 1 Scirocco, 1 MKIII golf, and the MKIV we just bought, its my wifes though, however i drive it alot. My scion is kind of beat right now because of poor shop choice in the past on my bodywork. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/halp-diagnose-an-issue-vw-guys-chime-in/243944)._
