Hello! Ok, it's not a Golf...
« on: February 12, 2012, 10:54:46 pm »
Hi All!

After looking for a Mk5 Golf GTI for a while, changed my mind and have bought a Jetta 2.0TFSI on an 08 plate. 

Not many options and completely standard.  I have a few wants, standard RNS-510, heated GTI cloth interior, highline upgrade.

I'm loving the car and it feels so much more special than my previous hack, a TDCi C-Max focus.   :sick:

Some photos of the Jetta looking majestic and muddy today...




As I don't have a GTI interior yet I bought these in IKEA this weekend to try and get my fix a bit early...



 :smiley:
I'm usually not too hot keeping up to date with forums but I should be around now and then, mostly enjoying readers rides threads and everything in detailing threads.

Ta,
Jacksones

Thanks for the welcome. 

So I've had the car about 2 weeks and today I was heading into town and it started hesitating on acceleration.  Carried on gently and it got worse and worse, made my way to the local dealer and coilpack number 1 was breaking down.  Replaced all 4 for peace of mind.  I had a friend with a Mk5 R32 who had coilpack issues, is this a common thing?

Welcome along :happy2:

Nice looking car to start with. Bit of a shameless plug but if your looking for a GTI interior then drop me a PM. I've got a full 5 door one in mint condition

Enjoy the site, the modding bug will bite soon!

Thanks for the heads up on the coil pack recall.  I'll phone the dealer tomorrow and check up on it.

I'd PM you but I can't yet. 
 
Since my first post I've already seen loads more possible mods than I realised there were.  Plenty of possibilities for the Jetta!  :happy2:
