Yes, it's installed, and I have not had any failures since Monday. It was failing maybe every other day, maybe two times in a day.
So far, it's been four days without an engine start failure since replacing the ignition coil.
A $30 set of carbon ceramic powerstop pads will fix that.
The timing belt, tensioner, water pump, and labor on my 15 Jetta S was 1700 after taxes as a Euro specialist mechanic in a decent Midwest city. Included 8 hours of labor @ $180
Definitely check local shops. The dealership just quoted my dad 1700 and he went to the local shop he bought his Jetta from. They did the timing belt and water pump for 1350.
Oh, All the VWII calipers from 80-84 in the Lucas catalog used the same piston seals, pins and pin slider kits.
I like Liqui Moly in my 2011 Jetta tdi but been really impressed with how smooth my car is running on Total quartz and been using that the last few changes. Total Quartz = smooth
I did have a 1982 diesel Jetta go 435,000 miles on oem int. shaft bearings. I had access to a lot of free Amsoil back then....so, that may have helped. However, I think it over-lubed the cylinder walls though. Rings weren't exactly what you would call 'tight.'
I went from a set of nokian hakkapalitas to Blizzaks on a 2017 Jetta GLI. Learn from my mistake and never do this!!! You only save money until you need to get pulled out of the ditch.
My friend in high school cracked the oil pan in his Jetta twice. Is there something about these cars that makes them more vulnerable to catching the oil pan on things?
