- Lifted Unicorn! '03 Jetta GLS TDI Wagon, 5spd, Candy White, Black leather.
My car is in good shape, so there's no huge need here, but a friend offered me a running 2000 5spd Jetta sedan. It was his donor car for a project but he lost interest. It's a bit of a beater (welded shut sunroof, no headliner, dirty, ugly maroon...etc...) but I thought it drove fine and has good power. Should I take it and pull the drivetrain to keep for spares? We don't really want a beater parts car sitting in the yard, so I was thinking I could pull and palletize part or all of the drivetrain? I've never had a parts car so I don't know; is that a dumb idea? The junkyard will take the shell for the cost of a tow...
I know that it has a 11mm pump and some kind of tune +EGR delete pipe; pulling the 11mm pump is the main draw for me.
It has a home brew beef on a budget lift, Avus wheels and may have vr6 axles, but it's otherwise a beater and I don't know a ton about it or the turbo. I think injectors are stock. I can look at it again soon to see what's worth taking? I'm fine buying new parts for my wagon as needed but I did want to upgrade my pump to 11mm...and they're pricey.
