For those buying to own, it comes down to the type of vehicle and engine. I've torn apart engines at close to a half million miles with the cross hatch still visible and bearings looking just fine. And I've see some of the most legendary engines spit up oil after 150,000 due to crappy aftermarket washable filters. 

I had a few incredible memories of eating at Burger King, Taco Bell or McDonald’s with friends. That’s because our closest fast food restaurant was a half hour drive away. The adventure of the trip made the experience great, especially for those of us who grew up over 10 miles away from the nearest traffic light.

My father bought two fully loaded Darts in 2013 for cheap(the dealer needed to meet their sales quota and it was New Years Eve)to have as a company vehicle and one for my mother. As he would say, they offered the best features for the buck. In 2013. The interior was cleaner looking than my MK6 Golf I had at the time…

Yup. It takes up to a half hour sometimes after uploading the video for the host to process the full resolution. Dealt with that recently when uploading a 4K video and it was previewing at 360p. 

Gen 2 was still bad. Crank case breather was improved, but they still pop rear main seal(my gf's gen 2 had that pop as well) and have oil consumption issues. The coil packs no longer randomly failed, but the newer ones are brittle and usually break when replacing the spark plugs. Tensioners were improved, but the…

And repairs/maintenance. There’s no bust out another kilobuck every time the CEL comes on the Fit, ulike the EA888 engine.

Do those numbers include the labor for a new rear main seal? 

As someone who just blasted the EA888 in the NP or CP car, this engine is actually decent. I would recommend it for someone willing to delete it and lives in an area that doesn’t check, mainly because the cost to fix the emissions devices when something goes wrong can be higher than the cost of the car itself.  

Correct, that part has been revised. I wouldn’t completely dismiss the car for its timing chain issues, which are still present with guides breaking and jumping the chain. The whole mess of problems still remains on the current EA888.

That’s nothing to worry about at all. It’s not like someone ran into a timing chain, water pump or oil seal failure issue and had to keep removing the liner to keep going back to replace the next part until the car is derivable enough for test drives.

You’ll find lots of VWs like this from that era priced like that for a reason. 

VW fan here(I hate myself, clearly). Only the intake shaft has VVT and it advances like a mofo. Enough for some exhaust to return to the intake to work as an EGR. The EA888 gen 1(that this one has), 2 and 3 are still the best thing that ever happened to those who get a commission off the parts.

EA888? Crank case vent issues, high crank case pressure and blown rear main seals, high oil consumption. The intake gunking is also terrible on this engine. There’s VVT, but only on the intake valve that advances enough to let exhaust in the intake to work as an EGR. VW still can’t design a proper timing chain, so…

2011 with an emission warranty on the Touareg fully loaded for only 10 or 11K in Charlotte. The 2013 or newer engine is better one to go with(for either the Cayenne or Touareg).

If you have the coin, the V6 3.0 from 2013 and on is much better and has a larger power potential. There’s quite a few V6 TDI engines making 400 hp. 

This is very true. I worked at a news station in Florida for a bit, it was super easy to find a story.

In terms of the history of it, the chop comes from Florida State’s Seminole War Chant. FSU has received the blessing to use the Seminole tribe to use their imagery. How they feel about the chant and the chop? I’m not sure.

Getting worked up over the end? Just a little, keep the child out of the plastic bubble and vaccinate them immediately. But the tattoo? Go on...

Couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s like a smaller version of Sheetz. Plus, QT partners often with our police department to help with their community engagement programs. 

What’s a jib?
