Repairs so far :
new camshaft and valve lifters
new turbocharger
new injectors
new ECM – believe it or not, the car’s computer was originally programmed at manufacture as a Passat, with regular fuel instead of a Jetta with diesel fuel… could things get any worse???
Also, the entire fuel system on the car has been flushed numerous times, and I imagine it is sparkling clean now!
On another note – this car gets THE best gas mileage around, around 55mpg city driving. What’s sad is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this car, aside from the smog issues, it’s a brilliant car – or was…
