JettaD build thread

Bought this car at 230k miles. It intend to at least double that

It has some obvious issues, cylinders 1, 3, and 4 have bad glow plugs, EGR is stuck open and the turbo needs to be cleaned. a/c needs to be recharged.

Plan to also clean the injectors, replace the fuel filter, change oil and filter plus trans fluid/filter. Brakes are a bit soft, will be looking into replacing the master cylinder, rotors, and pads. Will also do a coolant flush and replace the thermostat.

After repairs and maintenance are done a baseline economy will be established and I'll mod from there
