2004 6spd 161k Miles. New daily. Paid less than 2 for it. Thoughts? Know nothing about vw. It's all stock except the radio and some lowering Springs.

The VR6 is hella fun. Not as reliable overall as the 2.0 but a lot more power. Good price is good though have fun with it!
It's normal for them to smell like molten crayons. It's the rust proofing.

I replaced tail light bulbs singly and my cruise control did eventually stop working. I never made the connection.

Yep, just buy all news ones and replace them. I'd bet money it fixes it. Not a lot of money, but some.ChalupaBatman wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2017 4:14 pmMine doesn't work. Maybe I just need bulbsBig Brain Bradley wrote:nice.
