[Vwdiesel] 120000 mile service on my Jetta/ Needsfor mySciroccoturbodiesel swap

[paulr]

That was from a dealer here in the Chicagoland area,
where I always pay more money.   /:-(

The next time will definitely be third party time.
Loren said something about aftermarket brakes, and
how they greatly outlive the stock ones.

I never figured out why the dealer said the rotors
"can't be turned"....

Oh, I also have been told that alternators for this
car run $700 (!) from the stealership....
