Hey All -
I have a new-to-me 2003 ALH Jetta 5spd with 428,000 Km (266,000 miles). I am currently going through it as I have time solving limp mode, and replacing fluids and filters. Last timing belt job unknown (but suspected around 300,000 Km). TB is next on my list of maintenance to take care of right away.
I got lucky and found a local TDI owner who had an extra IDparts TB kit (standard) that he sold me for a great price, AND, is letting me use his Metalnerd TB tools at no cost!
On top of the standard kit, what else is recommended at this mileage? Should I just collect the parts to bring it to an equivalent High Mileage TB kit offered by IDparts?
Any and all advice on things to add to the standard TB job is much appreciated!
Pictures of what I have on-hand are below:
