Chapter I: Bought a third hand 98 Jetta 2.0 GLwith 130 K in Sept. Car started, ran, idled, (and even looks flawless). Listened (sic read) to all the horror stories about the timing belt breaking and turning the engine into modern art so decided to have it, and the water pump, changed...

I have a 1984 VW Vanagon Gas Automatic. I am learning with this vehicle. The water level indicator would every now and then blink then go back to normal.
