i’ve been meaning to post my experience taking my Jetta to bracketracer’s shop, BlackForest Motorsport, but havent been able to remember to post this when i’m home.

I had a lot of problems with my Jetta (go figure) and took it to Jason’s shop. and needless to say, i’m very satisfied with the results. I had a lot of the stuff i wanted to get fixed…fixed. The car drives better than it ever has in the 3 years i’ve driven it. im almost happy to be driving a VW now…well, lets not take it too far.

Anyways, i strongly recommend anyone who’s wanted to take their car to BlackForest Motorsport to do! I surely will be going back to his shop from now on.

thanks again Jason :tup:

Semin’s a slacker!!! 😛

I do agree though, took the Audi to Jason to remove what was left of my stock exhaust… all 4 inches of it :shy: and install the APR piece. Finished product was perfect.

probably wheel bearings/brakes/parking brake/water pump/timing belt/random lights…and throw in a secondary air for good measure. :lol:

so as to put an end to the speculation…

-battery/charging system checks  
-yes on the air pump problem  
-check engine light - misfires, throttle body carbon, intake tract oiled, some PCV breaks  
-valve cover/intake gaskets  
-coolant leak

and various other issues.

And thanks, Adam 🙂

cya when we’re ready to knock off the rest of the airpump issue
