New guy here. I just got a 2003 TDI (5-speed) after wanting one for years. It has 164,000 miles and I dont have any history on it. It runs great and drives suprisingly tight for the mileage. I am not sure when the timing belt was done, I peeked at it under the upper timing belt cover and at least its not the original belt but I think I should change it just to know where I stand. Is this a 1 day job with the correct tools? I dont know much about Jettas but I am an aircraft mechanic so it should be within my capabilities unless there are any secrets I dont know about.
This thing is a blast to drive, cant wait to start playing around with it. I am putting the finishing touches on an '86 Toyota Pickup (2wd) that I swapped a VW 1.6TD into. It sounds like a little F350, lol.
