Syracuse NY area repair help

[PhDwannabe]

Hi CNY -
My 98 Jetta TDI needs brakes all around. I have the parts and most of the tools to do the job, but could really use a fellow TDI/VW enthusiast to help/teach me. I like to do most repairs myself and would like to meet other VW/TDI folks in the area too. I've never done a brake job and can't really spend all day bent over working on the car since I'm still recovering from spinal fusion surgery. Anyone local with a garage that could use a few $$ and can help me out, shoot me a PM. I would appreciate it!! Drinks included of course

Well I had no choice but to take the ole Jetta to the shop and get brakes done. Good news is the brakes were not as bad as I had feared (rear anyway, front were toast!) No other problems with the car which surprised me, but I will not complain. Been a great 7 year run with this car. Hopefully I'll get a few more before it's time to get something from the 2000s
