Not a great deal really.
Haven't driven it much since the tensioner pulley decided to fall off while I was driving.
Too lazy to swap back to standard atm and its proving hard to find a replacement.
I've decided to buy a second car, just don't have the time or money to keep the beetle as a daily driver.
So I'm currently in the market for somthing with Vr6 and preferably 4-Motion 
Even though the Beetle is faster than my bro's Vr6 Golf, it should be a nice upgrade to have somthing that
doesnt leave you deaf. Plus: electric windows, aircon, heater and 5 speed.

Nah the actual tensioner pulley and bracket decided to unscrew.
Mick, does the engine come with a free car?
