    my ride has been sitting dead outside my work in San Jose for the past two weeks. No fuel, no spark. Checked and all the relays and fuses are good. Checked the fusible link and it was popped. Replaced it with a 50 amp fuse and still not getting a check engine light. Pretty frustrated and think i am just going to get it towed to a shop.

    Anyone know of a shop that knows E30s?

    Thanks in advance.
    What's the battery voltage? Are all your connections clean tight shiny bright?

      Eric, dont bother defending VWs, nobody will have your back.

      I have considered getting my old Jetta back, but its much cooler than yours



      its quite possibly the best jetta you can own. a mk1. a coupe. and a turbo diesel. I built the engine on this one nearly 10 years ago and its still going strong. I regretted selling ti but I was broke and in debt. Ive considered getting it again, but I love my E30. The Jetta was fun, but not fun like the E30
      lol an m k 4.
      you are an idiot for selling that car. that car is rarer than an e30 m3.

      I need to drive my e30 more than once a week. Simon, when you are here, come drive her.
      here is why i have VW love, user name and email, and a W in Ewic

        I also owned a few 1980 Jetta coupes. THOSE are rare... I moved on. They will always hold a special place in my heart much like that first girlfriend who wasn't the sexiest but you occasionally look back and wonder what could've been...

I've driven Steven's, Erfan's and one other guy with a silver one and none of those 3 cars was any better than a stock fwd 2.slow jetta. hell, the best car i've ever been it was a G60 corrado with full cage. it may not be as fast as an s52 e30 but it would easily take almost any e30 at a track, autoX or canyons.

              Officially in the market for a roof rack; Thule preferred with locks, but will take Yakima if it a good setup

              Need something to transport a bike/4 snowboards/a mini-barbecue/kayak

              Would like a full setup with board locks, wire basket, single bike tray, but would accept rack and farring alone

                      I have a brand new Thule 575 snowboard carrier that I'd sell. $149.95 on Amazon, I'd take $40 for it.

                          I've driven mine to Boulder, CO. Twice. My friends always give me crap for how "unreliable" my car is, but after making it with no problems the first time nobody questioned me when I suggested taking my car for the second trip.

                          Edit: The first time we went there, we went a scenic route through Death Valley, Moab, and the Grand Canyon totaling to about 2,100 miles.

                            Washington and back, fully restored parts not tight, untested car. only two issues, the clutch feed line popped out and the cruise control got flaky.
                            i would have zero issue getting in my car and driving to the east coast tomorrow.
                            id bring a v-belt, all fluids, quart of oil, JB-weld and duct-tape.

                                Vancouver BC to Napa Ca. Didn't miss a beat. I bought the car in Vancouver and brought it home.
