1986 Jetta mk2 from Malta

hi i'm ian from malta, been here for a while but never introducrd myself.. i'm quite a jetta fan myself and really love volkswagen cars. last summer i purchased this mint jetta with only 35,000 kms on the clock. it's a 1986 jetta CL. it's 1.3 engine was swapped with an isuzu 1.7 turbo diesel intercooler. it's impressively fast for a diesel but i'm looking around to find a vw engine.

Hi and welcome ;-) Just been reading a few of your old posts - newbie myself here but catching up with the scene.

hi stumak. thanks. i've been here for a while but never posted any pictures of my jetta. you should post some pics too. would like to see your tx

I have noticed your exhaust has got a straight cut IF u cut the exhaust at an angle so that the top off the pipe is longer than the bottom (sort of in line with the back bumper) the gasses will not mark your back bumper like it has marked it now angle down if i make any sense at all

ye you're right wiggy. good thinking, will sort it out with my new scorpion boxer silencer. i will make it come down to an angle so it doesn't dirty my paintwork.

ye stu wou're right this forum is filled with enthusiasts ready to help you with any difficulty. here also lie the guru's of jettas.

well the only things that i didn't take off and refit on my car is the
-rear axle
-outside door strips (door moulds)
-brakepipes
-and paint
ALL else has been taken off by me, tinkered and refitted in some way or form

wiggy, do you think the smoked rear lights are good on my car? or should i go with clear lights?

m3 clear lights are also an option:
