    Hello man!

    Indeed I´m parting it out, so by now the guys at the Dealership´s Workshop are swapping some aftermarket parts for OEM one´s, as well they are fixing some small issues that it has (I hope... LOL).

    My VW Jetta will keep the APR´s BT Kit since the engine already has rods on it and I didn´t kept all the Stock OEM parts; and of course all the work related to bringing the engine back to stock.

    I know I will miss my car when it´s gone!

    x2. One of the better dash kits. Although mines sags down a tiny bit on top, due to the weight of the HU.

    Metra part# 99-9011 is the one I have. If u can find a 99-9010 it is the best one I know of. But it's no longer available from my distributor.

    The gear indicator at the bottom, is that only on DSG models? I don't think I've noticed that on my GLI (manual transmission).

    You won't see that on a manual transmission. Both 2.5 auto and the DSG show up the gear selection in manual mode...

    5w30 Syntec oil change w/ new Mann filter and swapped out the cam follower (again).

    With the AutoTech pump rebuild kit, I'm looking at about 15-18k before I need to change it.
