Hello all!
I have a 1999 VW Jetta GL 2.0L 4cyl. It's been sitting outside uncovered for at least a year but up to 2. I just changed the battery and started her up. She started and I left her run for about 20 - 30 minutes. I didn't drive it anywhere because I didn't want to destroy anything and... the back driver side wheel/brake is seized.
My question is... what would you recommend I do to prevent any issues down the road. It sat with a 1/2 tank of gas for the total duration.
If you need any more information about it I will gladly give it.
Thanks in advance!
- Johnny

Drain the tank, add fresh fuel and replace the fuel filter on it, add a can of dry gas, change the oil and filter, check all fluids, add as needed, flush the cooling system and refill w/ proper coolant to proper protection level for your climate, replace the radiator cap and drive it . Also check the tires for dry rot. They might need to be replaced also. The parking brake shoes might be stuck to the drum on that side.
