You can both come play VW stuff with me next week. Vacation time so I'm going to put in new clutch and ready struts. Got some small things to do as well while I'm playing with it apart. Trunk wouldn't open with button or key on it, had to open from inside with safety release. URO parts makes this in metal now so I hope it will not happen again.

I used a bunch of URO's repop alloy cooling system parts on my Jetta and they made a huge difference in longevity. I never understood Volkswagen's obsession with making everything out of plastic.

2003 TDI ALH so several of the parts from an auto won't work on it for the cooling system. Got a small leak where the plastic hose block meets the head and already have the o-rings to fix it as well. Replacing coolant glow plugs while I'm at that point also. I haven't had to do much since I have owned it except regular stuff and timing belt replacement. Over 240,000 so far and this is the first clutch for it.

Plastic is cheaper to produce while also being much easier to do complex molds.

This is what still needs to be lowered

About half a dozen old growth are like this and I will have to cut out parts of the wire mesh fence to remove them.
