Hey all:
Just got the car back from Jason (TDIJetta99) after having my 200k service done, albeit 10k early. A few observations (mine and Jason's)
Timing belt done: As expected, no issues.
Nozzles (PP520) in: They apparently all popped well, and there were no issues.
Anti-shutter fixed: Broken wire.
Cam & Followers done: Cam ended up looking pretty good. Two of the followers were not rotating any more according to Jason. I did see a line grooved in them where the cam was contacting them, as opposed to the circle on the other six.
Clutch (G60/VR6) done: This was the one where I feel lucky. Jason stated that the DMF was on it's way apart, and pretty close to contacting the bell-housing. He showed me the difference between my old one and a pretty good one, and there was a ton of play in mine, comparatively. Don't have to worry about that one anymore, do I?
My only two reflections on the 10 miles home: The G60/VR6 is a lot lighter than I expected. It's nice, though. Also, I'm amazed at how rough the car had gotten with the flywheel...without me noticing. It was shaky on takeoff, and it was super rough at idle, compared to now. The car is simply awesome again.
Finally, I'd like to thank Jason for some great work, and for taking some time with me to show me stuff, explain things, etc. I know a decent amount generally about cars, but obviously not about this stuff. I'd completely recommend him to anyone close.
Cheers. J
