Well y’all since we are trying to save money and get into rental houses and change directions in life in a big way…. I decided that over time a new to me daily drive was a good idea. I did quite a bit of research and settled on a TDI VW and I like the MK4 Jettas so here we are…. I wanted a wagon but didn’t want to pay the extra. I also wanted a stick shift but couldn’t find one at a decent price that didn’t have a ton of miles. I wanted to buy a car between $2-2500 and have $3k or less on it when we were done. I was trying to buy and ALH TDI and didn’t realize it changed in 2005 to the BEW. But I still got a good deal on the car because it needed some work. I bought this 2005 VW Jetta MK4 with 119,000 miles for $2,000.00 and a 6 hour round trip. It’s a BEW 1.9 liter TDI and a 09A 5 speed automatic. The car needed the intake cleaned and EGR serviced along with a power steering pump. That’s what I was aware of at the time of purchase. Turns out it needed the solenoids in the transmission as well. But as you will see over the next few videos we fix all of that and it turns out to be a decent daily driver. With a grand total of about $2800.00 to $3000.00 in the car.

We clean the BEW intake manifold and do an EGR delete in this video because it’s all clogged up and was throwing boost codes and going into limp mode.

I don't know if I'll ever own a car like this but you sure gave some valuable information. The mpg would be nice. I commented 2 days ago but I deleted it and replaced it with this one.

If you are going to haul a lot of tools and things around i would highly recommend changing the front and rear springs to the jetta wagon springs and installing the 2 in lift kit while your at it. Its around $300 for both from kerma tdi. My car has this done (03 jetta sedan) the only thing i have noticed was the little bit of body roll in hard corners. ECS tuning has strut stabilizers to fix this for $100. You will not regret it. Enjoy your mk4!!!!

Awesome. I’ve got an 05 bew wagon with 235k km’s. Got it at 205 in January completely stock and now it’s got a gutted cat, disabled EGR and flaps and tuned. I have that shitty 09m 5 speed auto as well. Did all the fluids, trans got flushed twice as it was never done before and shifts improved. Power steering fluid was the colour of the oil lol. Also added a head unit for Bluetooth and metal skid plate as it snows a lot up here in Canada with tons of road debris. How are you liking the car so far ?

Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ I'm not a fan of anything foreign but it's always interesting to see what you're up to Chris. I'm a shady shade tree mechanic also 😂 I learned as I go along, most of the time 😜 well it looks like you're successful, the old VW sounds okay 👍 I'm hoping the transmission turns out just as well for you buddy. I'm very disappointed to see your shiny ass bald head 😂 just messing with you 😉 I'm sure your venture into rental properties will be a complete success, just as your automotive ventures have been. Keep up the great work and may God bless you and your family ✌️🇺🇲

I have the same engine. It’s on 220k I just noticed a sticker saying timing belt replaced at 85k. Do you think it needs changing? It still pulls like a train
