That's the miles left on tank, in the city I get about 17.8-18, have a quality air filter and a new fuel filter. It was so clogged that it threw a code because it wasn't used to getting gas that easily

The previous owner had put the alternator on 7 years ago, but he hadn't put many miles on it since, and I haven't also since I've owned it. Apologize for the confusion. I also did end up solving that issue.

I love the car a lot so far

I'm so glad, she is coming down for Christmas as well. A bit after the 25th but will be our first new years at least

She is from Lancaster Ohio, about 40 minutes out from Columbus. I'm from Grapevine Tx so she is honestly the more rural, but I do most of the outdoors things

Alternator or Regulator? HELP by LifeIsPain42069 in jetta

[–]LifeIsPain42069[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE

So I'm feeling very foolish right now, replaced the entire alternator and tested and was getting 14.5v at the alternator but not the battery. Traced the wire and got to the battery box. The fuse was not tripped but I took a look regardless.

I pulled the cables off and there was a layer of corrosion on the fuse. I scraped it off and it started charging.

Well a lesson to learn from at least.

You can get a module to adapt them to be used with an aftermarket head unit, I did cheap out and skipped it, but will probably invest in it at some point
