This is the sequel to my thread "The Big 200"... Here she is in all her glory. Runs like a champ, and still pulls hard as hell! I love my car.

You know what... I seriously was waiting for somebody to say something about this.... Or the how low the temperature gauge was, or that I would be needing gas soon... hehehe

No... I just replaced all the gaskets and did the clutch. That and 2 CV joints, and that's the only thing I have done to it.

Diesel they can recode it to the right mileage at the dealer with the scan tool... i can call a friend for you tho and ask him the measuring block to go to; to manually change the value....

wow! 200+eh? I'm new to the diesel world, I bought a golf mk3 td last week. V.nice car all in all. 81k on the clock I was just wondering is it wise to change in the high revs say 3400 or should i treat it nice n keep the revs low idk! :D

That 200k was in my gas jetta... You should get twice as many miles out of a well maintained diesel... :D
