Re: Questions ?

i just got a 98 jetta a few weeks ago. mostly minor stuff, but:
-some rust spots taht needed touching up
-clutch is a bit worn (high release on pedal)
-Some exhaust noise cause mostly by heat shielding.
-Starter makes a funny noise sometimes when you start the engine after it is warm. I think the its dot disengaging properly. Not enough to worry about... yet.
