Hello,
I'm in the process of purchasing a 2006 tdi jetta. Does anyone have any suggestions on extended warranty. In other words should I purchase a 2 year warranty from the dealer for approx.$2800 or should I pass on this??? The car has 127 Km. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Gary

I am not a fan of extended warranties because that money can be put into a maintenance fund and the warranties often have very explicit conditions which you must follow for them to cover "x" part. Do you plan on spending $2800 in maintenance in 2 years?

    Low boost. I removed the turbo and replaced the actuator and cartridge. I identified some problems with these parts. The cartridge came with the stop screw not set. Should I preload the actuator arm by 1 or 2 turns? Also, is the stop screw set based on a specific clearance in the veins or...
