I have a 1998 VW Jetta GLX, with a beautiful VR6 engine sitting in it. It has 140k on it, still purrs great. But for inspection reasons there are things I MUST fix to pass. Some of the items I can fix myself, and some I can have a friend do who is certified, for roughly $25 an hour. Is this worth the fix, and which parts, should I go new on, and which ones can I get away with being used from a junkyard. I am going to have my friend with me when we pull parts, so I hope I can assume, I am going to get parts that will work.
Front engine mount is cracked
Front struts
Rear shocks
Alternator
All 4 window regulators, came electric, but am willing to go cheap and get manual.
Wiring harness
I would like to replace the clutch while Im getting at the alternator
Break discs, break pads, tires
Reflector next to fog light....um ok, what else. Oh, two small rust holes in the undercarriage. So is it worth the fix. By the way. I love this car, it is beautiful and glorious in many ways. The last dino read 210h/235t, I would love to one day rebuild the engine and tranny to be able to take a turbo.
Thanks for the help!
