Only thing it ever went into service for was its normal maintenance and then one time the trunk wouldn't close without me trying 3 or 4 times and then across the top if the dash the defrost vent for the front windshield came loose multiple times. Miss my full leather GLI seats, some of the best seats I've ever sat in.
Loved that car, but now love my mk6 GTI.

Also a couple good boards. http://Www.metrodubs.com

Thanks! I agree about the GLI seats, they are pretty awesome! Really comfortable and sporty.
I've had the car for a little over a year now, been on plenty of boards. Not a huge fan of Vortex, I'm on GolfMKV.com more, although I don't post anything. I have nothing to add, yet.
And, apparently, the urge the mod just doesn't go away;
First real mod. I have a friend who works at Evolution Motorsports (EVOMS) in Phoenix and he hooked me up with their CAI for my Jetta. First impressions- a lot more turbo noise, sounds pretty cool. Haven't driven much so I can't say anything regarding the Butt Dyno but horsepower pickup is probably limited.
I really purchased it because the factory air box is integrated into the plastic engine cover, and my engine cover broke. Time for upgrades!
Next plans are APR Stage2 tune, 3" Stainless catless downpipe, and better tires. Should be pushing close to 300ft-lbs at wheels with that setup.
