1998 1.8t AEB Light Blue. 101K Just replaced brakes, rotors and calipers, also did ECS ultimate timing belt kit change. Other than that and oil changes, and other maintenance such as spark plugs, I have never done anything in the 10, almost 11 years of ownership. :thumbup:
2002 1.8t AEG Dark Grey 67K Same story as above except for a coolant hose that broke because I accidently broke it.
2005 1.8t 32K Same as above.
The 98 gets the best mileage at an average of 38, the other two get 32-36 as long as I don't "explore" the boost.

I think I like the 1.8t! :thumbup:

1999 1.8t manual. 145,000 or thereabouts. PO did the timing belt before I got it this January. I've had to do tires, fogged over headlights, brakes, ABS, clutch, exhaust, control arms, coolant temp sensor, plugs, drivers window regulator. Still needs A/C, cruise control, trouble code P1613, rear/drivers side door lock that doesn't always respond, chattering waste gate, drivers door hinges. Thats not counting FUN mods. Apart from only boosting up to 5 psi, it starts right up, runs smooth and pulls nicely.
