Great looking Jetta!

Deezler, that is a sharp looking car. I am impressed with your mods that look good and improve efficiency. These turbo-diesels are great. They are zippy/fun to drive and frugal with fuel too.

Aloha, I have had a couple of minor issues that were covered under warranty (EGR cooler and glow plug recall) new tires and that's about it in 50,000 miles. The 2004 models require a VW specific oil grade of synthetic oil (505.01). Fuel filter and oil and filter every 10,000 miles.
