Thank you for all the help - moving to mk V Jetta forum

[maxrob200]

I would like to thank everyone on this forum that have been so friendly and helpful with advice about my 01 Bora 4-mo.
Unfortuntely, it was caught in a flash flood on the road in vic and had water damage to the engine. Subsequently, it has been written off.
I have purchased a 2007 Jetta 2.0 TDi manual and probably pick it up by early next week after RWC. Drove a couple of DSG cars but I liked the manual best for some reason.
So I will be moving to the mk v/Jetta forum after next week

Congratulations on the Jetta,I am sure you will love it.Post pics up when you get it.

A lot of people have changed their Boras over for Jettas.

Was your Bora deemed a repairable,or statutory write off ???

[maxrob200]

most likely repairable as it has gone to pickles total loos auctions
Everything on it is as new!

Was your Bora deemed a repairable,or statutory write off ???

If you were in Sydney, it would be listed as a stat w/o, since written off after 31 October 2010.
(At least thats what the RTA were saying last year)

Congrats on the Jetta!

[maxrob200]

The 17" are spotless and the auto-dimming is 2 weeks old!

[anthony]

THere is one on the Pickles website,and I think the registration was RIB XXX ???
