    Congrats! What's the year/mileage? If it is getting up there make sure the timing belt has been done. 1.8T is a great motor, but you have to make sure the important maint. has been done on it to keep it going strong.

    Cool, I always liked these, glad you're up with maintenance, going from a Honda to something from Europe is hard for some. lol Have fun!
