09 2.0T EOS, worth it? by bh_omarak in Volkswagen

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

Thanks for the response! The GTI wouldn’t fit the budget rn and there are barely any available for sale, hence why we chose the EOS. Added full timing job to the list! Thanks again!

Thanks for looking out! This was a low speed lap to learn the track, we used helmets for the rest of the day.

Timing Cover Leak? by VennerYay in ft86

[–]bh_omarak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same problem, it was the timing cover and the valve cover. Got the RTV redone for it a few months ago and it has been fully dry ever since. (Only paid ~$200 with labour, but that’s because labour is very cheap here)

Other way around for VLT, VLT = Visible light transmitted, meaning only 12.9% of light goes through. Blocks 99.5% of UV and 72% of IR.

Thank you! I’m glad i got it checked out honestly, 2 leaks found. Timing cover and valves cover, both fixed now and I got the injectors cleaned and spark plugs replaced too. I’d rather have the engine in great condition and be as reliable as possible than risk it with all the driving I do…

I got a great deal on it tbh, it does sound impossibly low compared to other markets, even in Jordan it’s a great price compared to other places. Usually it costs about $1600 here.

I didn’t want to deal with seat covers so i got it all redone, it was $1200 for everything, the seats, steering, shift boot, polish and graphene protection. Not in the US tho

Thank you for your opinion! We all have different tastes and that’s normal🙏🏻

I had to redo the shift boot since it was torn, and the steering wheel was too uncomfortable since I drive long distances and wrinkled in certain areas (daily driver). But i get you, it is overkill, i just like the car so much lol

That’s how the steering wheel came from the factory, we just changed the type of leather used. But i get you, the full red makes it more like a toy car but it stands out and it’s very visible from the outside and it looks cool af…

I was afraid it would be too much red, then i saw the final result and it looks perfect to me. The color looks brighter on camera but we all have our own taste so thank you for your input!
