- Not refering to you, friend. Just that people who post don't always have
- their info right. And once again for those who can't pay attention.
- A2 Jettas are all HYDRAULIC...........No If's ands or Buts about it.
- If a mechanic charges you for a lifter adjustment, then grab a heavy object
- and slug him with it, then get back your $$$, then find a new mechanic...
