I got a 06 jetta TDI new and have a 127,000 miles on it now. I put a frost heater on and did a timeing belt service at 102K and thats it. Still drives like new. I don't know what it is about the Jetta TDI but for a car it really is fun to drive

Its a 2000. Big turbo, nozzles, custom downpipe and exhaust, custom front mount, custom charge piping, higher flow intake. That's the gist of it
