Last serviced in February 2024 (engine oil change, filters, cooling system flush). The only two departures from the original equipment: Front headlights replaced by OEM Hella headlights (Golf 4 type) Custom-made stainless steel end muffler (the noise is magnificent and by no means deafening, at low or high revs).
