Hey guys I'm new here to the form my name is Dillen, I'm a bit of a car nut (have 8 vehicles, 3 over 500bhp) and have my own personal shop and lifts at Blue Mountain (Clarksburg) at my hobby farm and technically live downtown Toronto. My usual cars are all Mercedes/smart brands and I have the full MB dealership setup at my shop. Knowing the star machine doesnt work on the VW I'm ordering the VSDS shortly!
I picked up an supper clean 04 Jetta TDI with pretty much every option and was actually owned by a vw tech and was stupidly well maintained (new bearings, calipers, breaks, upgraded stage 2 clutch, new glowplugs, struts and springs, rustproofed yearly to name the few). I had it up on my hoist and I was truly surprised. Initially I bought the car to simply commute and not to mod but that didn't last long. . I had the car just under two months and did 18,000km to date and no problems
Things I have done:
To do:
I'll be getting VCDS sometime this month so if any members need help I can meet up one weekend
