    Feeler: 2000 Jetta TDI with all the stuff@!

    Winter preheater upgrade

    So I just figured I'd share a quick project idea I had for my jetta. The girlfriend has taken over the garage parking so my jetta has been demoted to the garage. Until now i've had a Zerostart in my Jetta which has been great for the engine, but I was hoping to add a little extra cabin heat...

    Thule Atlantis 1600xt Cargo carrier on MKIV sedan(Pictures)

    So I've been itching to add some extra cargo space to my Jetta and finally broke down and decided to buy a cargo carrier. I already had the Thule load bars so just needed a box. The Thule Atlantis line looked decent and the silver seemed like it would be a close match. I was a little up in...

    Zerostart + Wemo + IFTTT!

    This year I've found myself living in a fairly cool climate but with a detached unheated garage and as such I decided to reinstall a Zerostart heater in my car for the easy starting and the rapid cabin heat. Previously I'd always used a programmable outdoor timer to minimize cost. Currently...

    Upgraded brakes a few years ago and it has been useless ever since. It's the stock spare that came with my 2000 jetta. I believe it's a 15x6.5" wheel and a 195-65r15 tire. The tire has maybe 100 miles on it in total and no obvious dry rot. Local pickup only in Columbus, OH. Asking $50 or...
