- Picked up a cheap Mk4 Jetta Wagon for a daily driver. Took a first walk around for a quick and dirty inspection. Lets build a daily!

Got a TDI MK4 in a trade and it left me 122 miles from home yesterday. After five years in a field, I put it back on the road and the clutch decided to crap out. Great content. Subscribed and following along. Cheers from Texas.
Bummer on getting stranded, hopefully you have better luck with it after that!
We’ve had our gasser 2003 for years. Typical maintenance and extras. 205xxx so far 😎. Ive been daily driving it for the past couple months to get the mk1s ready for pacific waterland 😎✌🏽
They make great dailys! But definitely not as fun as the mk1s haha
I just picked up the exact same car! Cloth seats being the only difference! Found a Mk4 GTI at the local scrap yard that at the very least I'm pulling the rims off of! Look forward to the build
Nice snag and good find with the wheels!
Just picked one up, will be following along!
Nice! Good luck with it!
Man this is exactly what I’m trying to do for myself! Keep up the work! I’ll be following along and hopefully eventually building along! Good luck!
Thanks! More videos coming soon!
i just picked up the same car for 750$ !! super happy
Great little dailys these things are! Good find for that price!
@@cheesingarage hell yeah brother turning out to be a really good car
@@cheesingarage build a lot of trucks on my channel but you earned my sub with this one
@@FirstGendodgegarage just subbed as well, always down for some good truck content!
want reliable, ALH or BEW TDi W/ 5spd. Beyond reliable, cheap to drive, performance and Economical with very little money. Those Autos are a Grenade looking for a place to go off. You get 30-70k out of one.
I agree with the transmission, 5 speed is the way to go. I am planning on swapping in the near future. The TDIs are a lot more fun to drive but people in my area want more than 5x what I paid for this. I love the tdi engines, I swapped a 1Z into my mk2, but its hard to justify that price.
@@cheesingarageThe ALH TDIs, they go forever, easy to justify for me. =)
Too bad it's not a TDI😢
I know, I love the TDIs but people want an arm and a leg for them. I do have a 1z swapped into my mk2 though!
Tdi swap it
I would love to, but people in my area are selling ALH swaps for the price I paid for this whole car
@@cheesingarage in EU we get 130HP 6spd manual TDIs, you would love it, I own one, with EU jetta called Bora wagon
