    It's what I had in the garage. The 1.8T is not a bad engine, mine is quiet and for the most part reliable now that all the normal maintenance has been done. i hope to put more than 600 miles on the car this year lol.

    I guess I should probably update this. While the engine ran correctly it still had the knock only at idle and the free wheeling gear sound.

    Was in the garage for 20 min today while I'm home sick from work with horrid sinus ****.. Installed the K&N cabin filter, plastic welded the broken cabin filter access cover, and covered the "welded" plastic with the K&N sticker. I find it funny how over engineered this engine is but yet how...
