    "feels like driving a garden shed" 😂

      There actually is a daily driver garden shed, built around a VW Passat. 🙂 I prefer this garden shed though, mainly because I like vehicles with a lot of straight lines outside and in, like that Zephyr in the background.

    Oh a Kubvan! I've wanted one of these since i entered the vw scene in the mid 2000s, they were all over the vwortex, guys were doing super cool stuff with them.

    question
    how did you get around the immobilizer in the ECU?

    • @eurodriven2507
      @eurodriven2507 Год назад

      I'd assume it was part of an ECU tune. Malone and Kerma are both very popular for those 1.9TDI's.

    • @JamesCooperider
      @JamesCooperider  Год назад +2

      It's actually an un-tuned 1999 ECU. If I'm not mistaken, MK4's didn't have an immobilizer until 2000.

      I’m actually working on a MK6 TDI ‘buyer’s guide’ right now. There are quite a few things to look out for, namely, its service history. That’ll dictate what you should do when you get the car!
