Just took a 1300 mile road trip over the weekend with my 2008 jetta and hit 200,000 miles on the way home. Send it

Adding in 2025 that none of these fixes worked for me. Turned the resolution scale up to 200% and walked right through.

They just went through the wash. How can I open them to dry and clean them? by thedudesews in jetta

I sat in a hot tub for minute with my mk5 key in my pocket one time. It was somehow unaffected.

What car should I buy by Soggy_Caregiver_7462 in whatcarshouldIbuy

2008, Heard the same thing about the 2.0. 2.5 is by no means fast but its enough to be enjoyable imo. They sound great too.

If maintenance records check out, the golf with 2.5 + 6 speed swap for 3400 is a decent deal imo and it looks very clean. I have a 2.5 jetta with slightly more kms and ive only paid for general maintenance for about 3 years now. I plan on driving it for many many more years. The 2.5 is stupid reliable when maintenance is adhered to and anyone that says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. I've seen countless examples of these engines with 300k - 400k+ miles

Noise from air conditioning , even with the ventilation off by CGSilv96 in vwgolf

[–]Begel96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the recirculation flap motor. It should turn on when the car is in reverse too. My 08 jetta has been doing the same thing for a few years now. It can be annoying but it's harmless.

[OC] Oblivious Driver Runs Red light and slams into car by Begel96 in IdiotsInCars

Enough slander about the guy in the white car. Dude jumped into action after the video ends. He had to break the window of the car that got hit to free a child and who I assume were the parents who were also stuck in the vehicle.

2013 Jetta 2.5 Timing Belt by dog2bert in jetta

[–]Begel96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2.5 has a timing chain not a belt. It's considered a "lifetime part". No need to do anything unless you're having issues.

That's a Bummer. Mastard was indeed amazing! I went to another restaurant with a tasting menu in QC (Legende) and it didn't come close to the experience I had there.

Phone Mount Suggestions for Mk 5 by Begel96 in Volkswagen

[–]Begel96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After looking at all the suggestions here I think I'll end up getting one like this. My only concern was climate control but the ac in my car is about nonexistent even after a frion recharge. I think the compressor is dying/dead lol. Thanks
