Sorry, just the coding then, shouldn't be a big issue.

any idea what a reasonable price for this should be?

I unfortunately don't but will ask a friend based in Jhb how much he would charge.

@ronz91 what's the story here, did you end up buying the Jetta?

so I took the car for a diagnostic to verify what I was told. The guy cleared error codes and rescanned, no errors. Check engine light has gone off.

Purchase almost done, they struggling to find the service book, once I can see that and other relevant docs, I will complete purchase.

Very nice. I'm not a VW fan myself either but it should clean up nicely with a good valet, a nice polish and wax to restore the sparkle to the paint and by polishing the headlights, if they are hazy.

Loved my Jetta 5 when I had it. Traded it for a SUV but miss it now. Was very comfortable to drive. Same colour white and maintenance was really inexpensive. other than some wear and tear parts needing to be replaced, never gave me a day's trouble.

Yeah that will be this weekend most likely. Then can take pics and post for sale.

Hopefully this is the pervading opinion, then it should be a breeze to sell.

for the sake of completeness, I did sell it a few weeks back
