No logs, I wanted to get some but never got around to it. It was not super aggressive. Spike at 18 taper to 16.

So what is your budget for a replacement? Anything you have your eye on?

Re: Car died last night, why?

I'm looking at gls Jettas, mk4. But I'm open to anything euro. I'd like manual but will settle for auto. My budget is 4500 max. I just can't go higher.

02 sensor is 5 min job, check for cracks in the fender where the steering rack go's through its any easy fix for a welding shop but might give you some more ammo to get the price down a bit.mine has 345k on it now. and the only thing i did in over a year of having it is change the oil and new 02 sensor.

im getting it tomorrow, ive spoke with a few people who know the car very well and they assure me its in great shape, ive done 02 sensors on my b5 so im sure this one will be easier consider there is more room under the hood.

I always thought that it was just a Top Gear joke about the Albanians stealing cars and the Polish shops chopping and selling them but I have been buying a few parts and electronics from some very nice people in Poland. They can get anything and it will be cheap! And they really know their VAG stuff. Better get Google translation set to Polish to English set to a default.
