'85 Jetta Diesel beater!
 

Just picked on up today! $400! It runs awesome and the body is in good shape, needs some floor work but other than that its awesome for $400! Any of you VW guys have any tips for these things? It's N/A...for now:bomb21: Anywho..I'm going to go work on this little beast, get 'er ready for some Winter driving.. :c:

Congrats and....

Here ya go :pca1:

Anything that runs for $400 is a good deal. Is it turbo-charged?

Does the floorboards have the Fred Flintstone thing going on?

Haha, yeah they did, took it up to work and fixed all that on the weekend though. :c:

manual or auto? does the heater work?

5spd manual and the heater blows the hottest air of any vehicle i've been in....so hot that the cold setting on the lever actually means warm lol I think it might need some new rubber engine mounts, a little vibration under steady cruise and it goes away under load, like while getting up to speed from a light etc...

sweet. something like that is so much funner as a manual than an auto......

* would one of the fearless leaders delete that post please *

Btw I just had to fill up for the first time since I got it for 36L of #1 for $.971 per L that lasted for a total of 670kms! Woohoo! This little thing is great!
