jazzdevil 0 Posted February 20, 2007 my cousin ran a mk1 Jetta for a few years without fault... any problems tend to be same as the era-Golfs - knocking tappets, worn engine mounts and the like. nothing that couldn't be easily fixed... actually, cousin's looking for a similar aged/type project himself... so i won't tell him that you've found one just down the road in Poole :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
