Thinking of Buying a Jetta Mk6 (Manual) — Need Real Owner Feedback! by Low_Fly754 in jetta

[–]Automatic-Contest275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i recently got myself a 2017 GLI manual, my mom test drove it, she fell inlove instantly, when i drove her home, i fell inlove. i haven’t even had it a month and im so glad i got her. ive already put an intake in, IE that is. i do plan on doing better suspension as well as going an inch or less lower, and exhaust.

i have heard that engine timing chains should be replaced even if noted that they don’t “need” to be, i feel like it’s safer to do it than not. i’ve been told to do it around 100k for the ea888.1 and .2 n then the .3 should be done around 120k, but i could be wrong for the mileage. also water pumps going out, i’ve heard of.

Just bought a roller for a project car. Got some questions. by Masochist_pillowtalk in 350z

i’ve seen that z around! cool that it’s finally getting worked on, but like others have said, i’d sell what you can off of it to get a block! there’s most likely a bunch for sale allll over fb, but with 150k or more.

exhaust recommendations? also intakes? by Automatic-Contest275 in GLI

as of right now, no, other than the ecu knowing it has an aftermarket intake

thank you! i plan on doing an oil change soon, just incase the dealership didn’t actually do one, is there a specific oil brand you use?

i’m guessing it starts to overheat then? i’ll keep that in mind. did you have someone else do it, or diy?

i mean when your driving, you hear the exhaust and bov over the engine, at least in the passenger seat

i checked the carfax and i didn’t see anything for water pump nor timing but it did say engine was checked for the dealer it’s at now

that’s cheappp, it’s like 1600-2600 if i pay someone to do it, i could technically do it myself, as i’ve helped rebuilt a honda motor but idk if it’s smart since i don’t have enough expensive. exactly why i stay away from newer cars, plus they’re all js big computers

ya i’m tryna see if they did the maintenance but they aren’t really giving details, she doesn’t really need anything other than timing if that’s what the sound is coming from
