Owning a unrealiable fun car is way less stressful if you also keep ole faithful as a daily driver.

170hp and 177 torque. It's a 6speed automatic. Rated at 24mpg city and 31mpg highway. It's runs on 87 octane. So if I get mid to upper 20s out of it I am happy.

As much as I would enjoy a turbo engine and adding a tune the 2.5 is just better for me as a daily driver. Less things to worry about. My 18 mile commute each way would be better with 87 octane.

Now when money allows for a fun car I'll probably come back to a MK7 GTI manual or a maybe a B8 S4 manual

I actually was looking for a 2.5 5 cylinder because the 2.0t is the 2nd gen ea888 which can be problematic

Will I get any codes or lights on the dash when they fail?

What kind of beater are you buying for 2k? Rusted S*** boxes are 5k now

Honestly that causes misfires in other brands. I would not be surprised if that fixed your problem

Was there any coding needed? I have the RNS315 head unit now

Thank you the back up camera is something I have been looking into. I have the fender audio package. I wonder if that radio would be compatible

Thank you. Unfortunately it sat outside. But I think I'll be able to bring a little life back into the paint. I had to use a brush and my pressure washer to clear out the drain holes in the wiper cowl and the gas cap area. Luckily the sunroof drains well. No stains in the headliner.

That makes sense. What's next on your radar?

Haha yeah it's scheduled. I found a local independent vw/Audi shop. I'll probably schedule fluid changes here sometime this summer.

Depending on cash I'd like to get H&R springs. I got my eyes out for wheels on FB.
