Quick Story...

Britt and I were at her employee holiday dinner when we overheard a co-worker's husband speak of junking his passat wagon. I've seen it before and knew it was a vr6, so i inquired why. He told me it has a bad water pump, and also needs a new pulley and belt. So I figured what the hell, and I asked him how much he wanted for it, and WHAM !!! He said it was free, just get it off his property in the next week, so I did. Towed it down to my house, now we have a good winter car.

Just have to fix it and we'll be all set.

nice find man! never hearts to get a car for free, plus doesnt seem like you said much work needs to be done, i wish i could find something like that to drive during the car months of winter but oh well id prob end up missing my GTI that id drive it anyways

VR6 !!!!!!!!!!!! woo hoo !!!!!!!!!!!!

hey Tim, parts from rapid were kinda pricey, so i figured i'd call the local German auto mechanic near me- Klaus Garage- and he quoted me $650 for the pump, pulley, and serp belt !!!

holy shit!!!!

i think i'm just going to keep searching for parts, and do it at my buddy's place.
