No better place than the haynes book.  The job is easier than it looks. unless you've got a valver, never done one of them.  ;)

Agreed, that is a useful link.  It also makes me happy knowing that a mk1 has the K-jet on the other side.  ;)

Glad you found the link useful, unfortunately I sold the Jetta 6 mos ago but left that page up for now, however, it will be coming down soon.

I had no idea what I was doing then...but feel free to copy or move it to a more permanent location if you find it useful  :P
