Uncle has a 90k mile Rado G60. My cousin used to lease a 3 door golf, but went without a car for a year and is now leasing a Jetta MT. Once he is done with college and gets a job he will make the right move and get a GTI. And I used to have a Mk4 GTI neva lose edition. Miss that car but the...

Oh well 😊

Mass manufactured German cars are generally easy to work on. Ex. GTI, BMW inline 6 non turbo, MB 6cyl. difficulties do arise when awd is added into the mix, twin turbos, V8’s, etc.

I used to retrofit multiple headlights. Issues were usually bad connection where I had to bend back a pin, canbus cancellor, or ballast. Since you have a stock setup I would generally disregard first two and go with ballast. You can diagnose by swapping ballasts and seeing if problem follows the...
