    Thanks man. I wish I had money to fix up the little things and put on some RC rims. I am not a big fan of my current wheels, but hey they work.

    well at least your honest, clutch is not a big deal but the timing belt on 1.8 T's go bad very fast and then your stuck with bent valves and having to get the head rebuilt. replace the timing belt before it goes out.

    No it is most definitely not covered by VW and is not a recall... You need to do it asap tho. Oh and btw, you are overheating in the picture

    Yeah, got the overheating thing fixed. I just replaced my coolant flange this past weekend. All good to go!
