60k for an S5? If that was the case in Norway I might actually buy one... Expect to pay over 210k in Norway. Plus options!  |

Wow, some seriously cool watercooled rides in this thread! I've always dug on the Audi S series, they drive and handle great. Alfie, is that your new Alfa? NICE car! Never seen one.

My daily driver is a 77 diesel golf, it's not running currently beause I'm replacing the old 1.5L D engine for a proper one.
Javabug, your GTI is great ! What year is it ? Because you have pre-80 rear lights and the post-80 dashboard ?

Both my kids have water pumpers... My daughter drives a 2000 Jetta 2.0 and my son has a 2000 Passat 1.8 turbo. Have you ever changed the oil filter on a Passat? What the Hell ??

Ha ha! Only a true european would notice that! Good eye. My GTI started out as a 1983 US-Spec Rabbit GTI, which had completely different dash board and tail lights. I didn't connect the year difference in the small tail lights and the later dashboard until after I did the work. Yes, for it to be more correct I should have the larger european tail lights. If I were ever to redo the car again I would fix that, but its pretty unlikely I will ever do that. Thanks for the copmliments! I appreciate it. What are you putting in your diesel? A newer turbo diesel? |

My wife has a 2001 Audi A4 1.8 turbo, real close to a Passat. Those filters make a damn big mess, don't they? I put a page of newspaper on the subframe to try and help. |

A newer turbo diesel? Ok I see ! On it you are supposed to have euro large lights or US like this :   On mine the 1.5L D engine is dead so I picked up a GTD mk1 and I will put the 1.6L turbo diesel engine with the 5-speed gearbox. I don't know if the GTD rabbit was sold in the US. |

That's what my car originally looked like, except in black.
We didn't get the GTD car, as far as I know.

The GTD have the same specs as the GTI with a turbo diesel engine, maybe the gearbox is different but I'm not sure. |

I dig your wagon, Dave. Sounds/looks/performs GREAT. TDI engines that VW is producing are wonderful and efficient.

Thanks Mark, I know your a wagon guy too. I removed the cat a while back and it seemed to improve my mid range power a bit... My wife wants the 2009 Jetta TDI Sportwagen (so do I... ) ~DR. |

You're right... I dig wagons. Mostly European ones and only the pre 1973 U.S. made ones.
My daily driver since my sons were born in the early '90s:
It's been a reliable and fun car... a 1987 245DL European delivery model with 5 spd. roll-up windows, and vinyl interior. 99% of the Volvo estates/wagons in this country are automatic, electric windows, and cloth interiors. I removed the cat, the front muffler, and did some mild engine mods. Best car I've ever owned and will never sell it.
