its called . syncro
theyve even got a clever gear box that runs fwd untill it notices the front are spining faster than the rear then it goes 4wd!

No Jetta in the US has come with AWD.

and thanks verrückt for clearing that up, i guess i should have mentioned that.

theres like AWD, AWW, AWP, and so on like AEB in Audis and Passats.

actually I own a 2004 Jetta GLI, with the 24v vr6 engine and 6-speed tranny and so on...

What does it matter if something comes in AWD or not?

You can go plenty fast in a track application on a front rear, or all wheel drive platform.

If you mean ACTUAL HARD track use, like road course, then you're not going to take much of any stock car out there.

Fluid will boil, pads will burn, and rotors will warp, on ANY stock Jetta/Golf/R32, don't matter. VW doesn't make a car in the US that I know of which comes factory with equipment that will really hold up to a track beating. Don't forget that any responsible owner running their car at the track will run full synthetic ~40-50W oil (redline makes an excellent oil for it)
and change their pads and front rotors before and after every event, generally speaking.

Vipers, Corvettes, EVOs, STi's... these cars are about the only ones that will take track use out of the box.

Man ... Jetta didn't have any synchro !! The passat did but in that time it was B3 Passat and the 1.8T engine wasn't out !!! And were talking about the New GLI .


Back to the topic ! I love it !!! i'd have to drive one to get my impressions !

2.) You do NOT need a BOV. Your car comes from the factory with a Boesch 710 recirculating valve (or DV...Diverter Valve). This releases excess pressure when the throttle plate is closed and recirculates the air back into the intake tract. It's also silent.

If you hook up a venting BOV to get some ghey cheesy ricer noise, your car will make less power because you will be releasing metered air which has already passed though your MAF into the atmosphere. Your A/F will be off causing your car to run rich and maybe throw check engine codes.

Please do some research and learn a thing or two about your car before you go and ruin it with stupid mods.

can't u get 4motion on the station wagon
