    I have a 2008 Jetta with 108,000 miles with the 2.5 as well. I love this car. I live in nyc and it’s the perfect machine to just zip around the Brooklyn towns or Manhattans busy streets. Can’t afford a Mercedes or BMW but you want a German vehicle? Volkswagen is the way to go for the comfortable nice upholstered seats. Upholstered seats that have seat warmers. Japan wasn’t doing that. Although I 100% agree with you on the body roll of the car. Hitting the curve too fast and will make you think “what’s wrong with this car?” Weird quirk but it’s not the end of the world. Sway bars! are the best solution to feel a better and more engaged driving experience, I equipped my Jetta with front and back ECS tuning sway bars. These sway bars changed the cars attitude completely. It’s really how the Jetta should of came from the factory. But great vid man. 👍🏼

      Thank you for the feedback! I’m sure the sway bars make a noticeable difference for the Jetta

      I know I'm late but can you give me any idea on how to fix the p2181 code. The car runs smooth but my coolant keeps disappearing, I can't see any visible leaks.
