Man this is the deal that just won't die! I looked at the Jetta again today, you just look at the key and the thing starts, like half a crank and it's running. But I noticed that once it is running the tach acts really weird. You rev it up and the tach stays around 1000 rpms. Granted it was still cold when I was looking at it, but is that something these cars do or is it an indicator that something is odd about it?
