Newbie - Jetta TX MK2

Hi All,

I have now been a Jetta owner for 24 hours now and I must say it's getting better by the minute.

I have been given for free a Jetta TX 1.6 Mk2 E reg with one a half months Tax and a week long MOT. It seems to be in good order, but will find out for sure on Saturday when it get's MOT'ed.

I would also like to say thanks for the link to Adrian Flux insurance. I have just taken out insurance with them fully comp for £199 with no no-clams. Very happy, it's cheaper than my Polo. I didn't get the discount 'cos I'm not a club member, but they did say when I become a member to ring them they might be able to sort out the discount then. I will let you know.

I will post pic's of her soon.

Laters,

Canters.

welcome
1.6 tx all the way

Hello & welcome.

Welcome buddy glad you got use out of the link looking forward to seeing the pics is she currently standard?

Hi All,

Thanks for the welcomes.

@Reaver - Yeah at the moment she is completely standard. I have plans for her if shes good and passes the MOT on Saturday morning. I would like to restore her to as close to as new as I can and just add little touches.

Quick question to anyone thats knows, Do most Mk2 Golf parts fit an Mk2 Jetta? Are they that close? At the moment I am thinking of parts like gauges, the bank of three and dash clocks (rev counter)

hey welcome.

mk 2 golf > mk2 jetta. i think i've read that somewhere on here. maybe within the jetta 2 section.

classic jettas are building up wuick here.

Yeah mate they are identical the only non interchangerble (sorry cant spell) parts are rear end panels and exhaust. basicly check which parts you want and let me know and ill make sure for you but anything in front of the rear seats not a prob

Thanks for the help and the offers

MOT Update - She failed. CV Boot split, Head light alignment out on NS, Bulb out and rear wheel bearings.

All in all not too bad. Garage wanter to charge me £175 for work and parts. So I went to GSF and paid £36 for all, plus some gear linkage bushes (CV boot from garage £14+vat, from GFS £6+VAT). I am doing the work today with a mate. So I'm a happy chap.

Still not taken pics. Will try and get some today.

Typical garage £175 for peanuts glad to here the cars not got any major issues mate
