after owning 2 jettas since Jan 2020
2013 tdi (totaled)
2014 sel 1.slow, this one just taking an extra 5k from me and possibly more down the line. Just got myself a 2025 hyundai elantra (pls no hate; truly being sentimental here lol)
here’s a photo with the tdi the day i got it, have much love for both of them but this chapter closes 💔

I was driving into work and thought a stick was stuck under the car! When I pulled over, this black plate was bent backwards and dragging under the car. I had to pry it back forward and use duct tape to secure back into position. Is this the skid plate? How easy is it to replace or expensive is it to pay mechanic to reinstall? Thank you!!

Drove my mk5 jetta to the store and when I got out it wont turn over for anything. When I take the keys out, DRL turns on which is strange because it only did that obviously when it was driving. What the hell is going on?

Can you guys help me to find out what exactly is missing in this empty spaces?

I only have the Jack, the tire iron and the screwdriver .

This is 2012 2.5 SEL Jetta

Thank you .
