Stole my 09 2.5 jetta for $750 hehe. Granted it wasnt running. After about $500 and some time car is perfect and even fixed the ac. I think they thought the rear main was leaking. Just vacuum pump. Absolutely love this car
I got one for 1800 with a new engine. it was a county employee vehicle , bought it at one of their auctions . It's a 09 2.5 the thing is in immaculate shape. I've had it for about a year now , I've replaced the crankshaft sensor. I love the stability and the torque for such a little car, I had it tuned and remapped the air fuel mix and with everything stock it dynoed at 218 hp. messing around I've smoked a Camaro and a challenger both 6 cyl though lol. These cars are fun, thinking of a turbo next.
To anyone watching this and thinking about turbocharging their 2.5 for the love of god don’t buy the Hans Turbo kit. Turboing the 2.5 is a very expensive project roughly 6k-12k. Currently the only turbo manifold that can be purchased new is from SPA going for $450 from there it’s a DIY project all the way comprised of sorting parts and fabrication. Unless it’s a novelty or project you really want just get a GTI or GLI for the same price. In my case I am going the Intergrated Engineering Route which is roughly 3k for their performance parts and then going with a Borla exhaust. Also please note the Audi 2.5T and VW 2.5l are not the same engine build very differently. The only swap I have seen of a Audi 2.5T on a VW Rabbit was almost 30k the engine alone was a salvaged RS3 engine and trans. Anyways good luck to anyone and their project 2.5s.

Be careful when it comes to suspension mod. Those engineers know what they are doing. I you can't just willy nilly throw stuff on, you can upset the handling dynamics. I have a Mk6 wagon and I'm going to install the VW DG sport springs with Koni yellow dampers. These are essentially GTI springs, so they are factory approved. I will have the install shop dial in the rebound damping to match the spring rate. This is important. Plus you don't want overly stiff springs. The suspension needs to be compliant on the street. Race stuff is for the track. I am not messing w/ the sway bars. A stiffer rear bar on a front drive car can reduce understeer, but it can also lead to 'lift off oversteer'. I'm not an engineer, so will not second guess. Performance tires make a huge difference, but again you can go overboard. Super grippy summer compound tires a) are expensive and wear quickly, b) pick up rocks and then spray onto your paint, and c) can put stress on the suspension it was not designed to handle if you take advantage of the grip. If you gain massive lateral grip and drive the car hard, you are going to wear out the suspension bushings, unless you swap in hard plastic race type. Not to mention stress on ball joints, etc. I run Eagle F1 A/S (unfortunately discontinued) A great blend of performance, comfort, all season use and affordability. Hate to sound like a dad, but ya gotta be smart about upgrades. I looked into software tunes, but there's only so much you can do with an N/A motor. I'm sure with the IE engine and tranny (I have the tiptoe trans) it would be more lively and fun, but it is very expensive for what you get. And turbo, done correctly is probably gonna cost more than the car. Don't get me wrong. I love the 2.5. Probably best motor VW ever made. Just bullet proof. Sure I wish it had 200hp. But I don't have to worry about carbon buildup, or blown turbos, or sketchy high pressure fuel pumps. It's fast/quick enough to be fun in a daily driver. Oh, a great inexpensive easy to install mod are upgraded brake pads. I run EBC red's and they are great. Much better bite and easier to modulate than stock. If you wanna drive swiftly, you have to stop quickly.
@@evilpanther990 No doubt. 🤓 I've since done the IE tune. It's fantastic. Car is much more lively thanks to the big increase in torque (215 ft/lb) 0-60 in 6.9, which is on par w/ stock GTI of the era. Penalty, besides price of software, is requirement to run premium fuel. Oh.....Koni Sports are a bit over damped for stock GTI springs. The FSD would be a better choice. With the Sport, the suspension is compliant, but stiff......you fell every road imperfection. Handles great though.
Also people believed that you would spend 3-4k on a turbo kit just to make the same power as a stage 1 or stage 2 gti. People just thought it was a waste of time.
I have the same car , 09 2.5 Jetta Wagon , I paid $2000 with 296k . Is just a car to work , fit all my tools , today with 378k have some issues on sunroof and sunscreen , I already spent around 6k with unscheduled maintenance + regularly maintenance cost in 3 years still reliable. But now I have the a/c no working, blower just on 4 speed and some bearing noise . Need to spend a little more haha
Hey I have a question? I just got a mk5 2.5 and it does smell like burn and it’s hard to tell if its from the fan or from the engine but if you could tell me that would help a lot cause I was just concerned where it comes from but I can’t find it. Thank you
I just bought a 2006 VW Jetta for $400 all I needed was a fan lol best car I’ve Eva had I need to knew where to look I’m going for the street racing car body kit lights steering wheel and I want a big as screen instead of the radio it comes with
I dont think it comes with a turbo sadly:( I think its just a tune or setup for which ever turbo you plan on intsalling. All that i know is that it comes with an ecu tune, turbo installation kit(tubes, diverter valve, feeder) an intake manifold etc. If you want you can find a turbo exhuast manifold from JDL Auto designs, and 5858 or a 5859 turbocharger. Im not sure where you get the turbo back exhuast from. Thats all i know:)
A wolfsberg jetta is just an exclusive version of the base model. Only difference is that it has slightly larger rims, has a couple of new badges, updated front and rear bumpers and an updated interior.
No gaste la feria compa mejor si tienes el 2.5 normal consiguete el tdi que ya trae el turbo integrado y no te va a madrear otras partes que tienes que mejorar al ponerle un turbo
well the base model jetta has half the displacement of a Lamborghini Gallardo, which is why it sounds like a lambo:) kinda wish it came with more power and a dsg tranny but VW canned that idea:(
I have one 2.0 BWA engine , had it for months and I can’t complain. My advise, get a mechanic who deals with such cars to check one that you are interested in for any errors or faults
I went with the IE stage 1 tune. No complaints, its not huge power difference but it’s noticeable, it raised the redline from 6K to around 7,100K and has little pops on deceleration. (With a exhaust of course) totally worth it!👍
The turbo kits aren't exactly available anymore, your best bet is to find a turbo manifold from SPA Borousa (fits turbo's with T3 flanges), a Turbo that reliable and can give off some good power numbers, piping, Oil lines, DV/BOV, and a Tune from United Motorsports or 034 Motorsports:) and sorry for the late reply.

@@Siriusgxmiq You didn't say "sway bars" or "end links" you said "lower your car stance" which made you sound like a goof.. and you do sound 15 years old in this video you definitely wasted my time and I'm upset I clicked on it.
Kinda seems like you don’t know why you’re talking about, “I don’t think an exhaust adds much hp” how do you not KNOW that, and you can easily lower your car on coils for under $700, and why even recommend putting a turbo on a 2.5, just sell it and buy a GLI at that point
Adding an aftermarket exhuast on an N/A car doesnt add much horsepower, thats a fact. Also i suggested turboing a jetta 2.5 in case people wanted to do more to it rather than buy a gti. I know what im talking about, how would you know if i didnt know what i was talking about? I had a script, i did the research. What i said in the video is actually what iv'e learned.
Did he just call them mock 5 or 6? And why did he show the IE crate motor on the Dyno to when talking about turbo kits those motors are NA... You don't want to turbo any GDI engine unless your ready to break shit all the time
And thats true, if you want to go all out with N/A or Turbo your 2.5 1. It wouldnt be a daily driver car anymore 2. Be prepared for parts that might break or become damaged.

Do you need to replace the intake manifold for the ie stage 2 for a manual?
I went to their website to read up on this since I had the same question. yes you do need to replace the intake manifold even for manual transmission
Is the exhaust you linked in the description only for the MKIV or will it also work on the MKV?
It should work for both
09 2.5 Jettawagon for $1500. Just about 300k miles and check engine light stays off. Manual makes it amazing
