Time flies and I had been driving the Jetta for 10 years.

I’ve encountered numerous defects on this Jetta. Ranges from engine pistons failure, engine oil leak, gear oil leak due to broken screws, MU failure, clutch juddering, body control module intermittent, ABS/speed sensors, etc etc... Maybe one day I should write all the defects I’ve encountered.

The COE is expiring in Oct 2021. Let’s hope that the COE remains low so that I can renew it and possibly continue my “mod” journey.

Thanks for dropping by again.
