  1. Wrench day on the friends VW. End links, lower arms, and tie rod ends (she rattles!). Started with the end links... driver side, just a few minutes. Pax side ... hours :S

  11. They claim it happened while they were driving

    It's a Jetta. Seems like a variation of the 1.9l diesel.

  12. Welp, RIP 2009 #Jetta #2. Got hit by someone running a stop sign. Fingers crossed I can find a decent #3.

  13. Got my sunroof drainage tubes cleared on my 2009 Jetta. Once the next rain comes, I'll verify and from there move on to repairing some rust that was a result of the drainage clog. This wonderful inline 5cyl engine, recently passing 186k mi and not even at it's prime, will go 500k+ mi, and it's been owned free and clear for 5 years with minimal repair. I love repairing things, so wish me luck!

    One big incentive: while this car has a computer on it, it's functionality is minimal. As far as I know, the extent of it is essentially warning light processing (but correct me if I'm wrong).

  14. I absolutely don't need another car, but I bought one anyway. I know they're common in other parts of the world, but in the US, when a 2013 VW Jetta SportWagen TDI 6-sp manual falls into your lap, you don't pass it up if you're an automotive masochist like me. This one comes with records and seems never to have gone more than 10k miles without needing thousands of $ in repairs. It currently has a seized turbo (which itself is only a year old). #vw #jetta #vwgolf #tdi #weirdcarmastodon

  17. Finished up the head gasket job on a 2015 #Jetta, flushed the coolant and oil.. got er down off the jacks... and what do you know. She runs! No codes!

    Ended up about $500 in parts and fluids overall.

    Some rust related aches, some wonky tool paths (thanks, VW), minor fretting with timing the engine - but in the end, these #SOHC engines are pretty simple, fun little learning experience, and beat the (heavy) snowfalls.

  22. Diving north on #i5 to #Bellingham in the passenger seat with my son in his new (well, 2002 #Jetta) car, on the way back to his college flat, and he puts the #Bruce #Springsteen #cassette tape on the deck and turns it up

    fuck yeah

  23. Car's in the shop. Rental is a #volkswagen #Jetta. Not bad. But this #speedometer is just making every last nerve twitch not being linear. Where is 90? Aaarrrg!

  24. CW: Auto repair, anti-consumerism

    I hate buying things except music and LED/microprocessor stuff, and love fixing things to extend life. So I'm excited to report that my MK6 Jetta's rust area will be worthwhile to fix.

    I intend to drive 500k+ miles in that car. 2030's here we come!
