Truthfully, these cars are known to be problematic. Have the timing chains been done on this car yet? I have to assume they have not so if you have any plans to put anything into this car I would start saving for that. ---

I like it… dont know what everyone is talking about. Talk to YettiVR, he knows his V-dubs and VR’s. Get the maint shit done and get it solid again, then mod it. Or mod the broken stuff and kill 2 birds with one stone. If you do the badgless grill, please send me the hood so i can shave the notch properly, dont get the gay notch filler stick in thing. exhaust, on the cheap, I would just cut the stock muff out back there and weld in a good aftermarket unit. There isnt a need to bump up the dia of the entire system unless your going to do a ton of work to the motor to notice the difference. It will sound like sex, and only cost you $70-$100 for a good muffler, and if you were interested I could do the cutting, welding and hanging for you. PM me if you want. ---

I know first hand about these cars bud because I’ve owned one and they are pieces of shit. Tech’s I’ve talked to at Volkswagen dealers have said the same thing as well as my good friends up at GAP. That particular car is a sinking ship you keep throwing money into. ---

VW, a car company that puts a big shiny warning badge on the front and rear of all their cars. I will say this tho, as hard and miserable as they are to work on, if you do it and do it well.
