Quick pro tip

Found that the Sprinter oil filter wrenches fit perfect. 6 dollars at PepBoys.

For comparison, the Metalnerd wrench is 16 bucks.

Learned from this car.
#1 - VW plastic gets brittle.
#2 - Rattles bug me
#3 - Sometimes it's worth it to spend $ to troubleshoot rather than throwing parts at it hoping to fix the issue.
#4 - MK4 jetta's are really small inside. Back seat is for groceries, not people.
