A deer put paid to my old '98 GTI-VR6, which I had customized (NOT tricked) to suit me like old kid gloves...my new chariot is a creampuff '03 jetta (with 11k miles). So now I have left-overs from the GTI that I'm wondering if will work with the TDI.
Thanks in advance for the advice!
1) I had an extra set of stock 15" alloy wheels, which currently are wearing my previous Nokia winter tires.
3) Golly, I miss the '98 GTI MFI with the MPG and other readouts...REALLY improved my economy driving and told me what worked...I end up now coasting down hills as a result..the Jetta manual showsan MFI, but the Jetta GLS doesn't have it....do any Jettas have it? I know retrofitting from a Passat has been covered, but can it be done from a native Jetta?
4)) I have a lovely Recaro Orthoped from the GTI...will the seat interface (you buy the seat and an adapter rack for your model) from the '98 MkIII work in the Jetta MkIV. Not much hope, but........

a) The '98 GTI MkIII wheels are 5 bolt...will they work with the 5 bolt spacing and discs on my '03 Jetta?
b) The GTI snow tires are 195-55-15, whereas the Jetta is shod with 195-65-15...I take it they'll only work with 55 series rims....?
2) Is there any market for a Monsoon stereo? Lovely unit, if only it did MP3s! MP3 CDs is the only way to go...I have a Pioneer that does from the GTI. What does it take to blank off the dash for a single DIN radio? Suggestions for a doubleDIN aftermarket that isn't more that $200 and ridiculously trick/highend?b) The GTI snow tires are 195-55-15, whereas the Jetta is shod with 195-65-15...I take it they'll only work with 55 series rims....?
