I see you have a guardian angel as well, Nick!

I've lost count of the times I've broken down in the driveway or within earshot of the house...

In case anyone didn't see the other thread, looks like they're having some diesel drags at Little River in Temple on 9/27.

Maybe something for our more "southern" members.

I just saw that... Didn't know there was a 1/4 strip in Temple... Only an hour from the fairfield shop...

Maybe an option for a future meet... Fri night fun drags or something and then cruise to FF for wrenching etc...

Sounds good then you can tell me how to do it! EGR deletes avail for these cars? Sure there is? Would like to just do away with it altogether...

$120 doesn't sound too bad?? Vag Com can adjust for it not being there anymore? Any drawbacks??

From one who doesn't want to search on Jetta Forum

I'm up for getting rid of EGR stuff... Never had a real problem with it, but I imagine my intake is nasty...
