OT jetta Q's

[matt at safearmy.com (matt)]

You don't have to take off the manifold to change plugs. I doubt the audi stuff would work.  It would be best to find an A3 donor car . you need the pedal cluster, trans, ecu and a few other bits I'm sure. There are a bunch of threads on vw vortex about it. It's for sure worth $350. You could part it for quite a bit more
