2002 Volkswagen Golf GLS TDI

Don't be fooled by the mileage, engine rebuilt at 274,000 miles in 2012.  


I purchased this car in 2009 with 245k miles on it.  Ran perfect until the timing belt went out on me while driving in 2012 (that's bad), bending 2 valves and requiring the cylinder head to be re-manufactured by National Cylinder Head Exchange (Have all receipts and pictures).  So it basically has a new engine.  The cylinders themselves appeared in great condition when the head was off which I try to show in the pictures.  

Reason for selling:  My wife's Audi's transmission blew and we had to buy a 3rd car until we had the money to fix the audi.  Audi is now fixed and we have 3 working cars and now I only live a mile from work.  This was my "green" car that I loved and loved that it got 50MPG!! (but now I get to drive an Audi :)

When the head was replaced I went all out and replaced everything I could including, from my memory and included receipts:

  • Head, head gasket, cylinders, Cam followers/lifters
  • New valve cover
  • Both belts including the timing belt, tensioner pulleys and water pump
  • Thermostat and housing
  • Starter
  • All fuel hoses and clamps
  • Injector seals
  • Fuel Filter
  • Vacuum hoses
  • Coolant flange for cylinder head
  • Valve stem seals
  • Cam seal
  • Intake Manifold Gasket
  • Turbo oil feed line banjo washers, bolts and gaskets
  • Cleaned carbon from the turbo and intake
  • Exhaust manifold cleaning, new gasket, 
  • Engine Mounts
  • Glow Plugs
  • K&N Filter
After the engine work, the airbag light came on and does not shut off.  It must be a connector or sensor.  The car HAS NOT been in an accident and airbags have NEVER been deployed.

Has new rear tires, front have ~40% tread left.  Brakes are good.  ICE COLD AC (This is Florida).  Florida car no rust at all.  Car has premium sound with infinity rear speakers, touchscreen flip-out DVD player with USB and AUX input. Front door speakers are original but sound good.
  • Keyless entry
  • power locks
  • power window (back right window does not roll down)
The interior cloth is separating due to the Florida humidity (headliner and cloth on the doors).  Easy fix with some spray glue but never bothered me.  

The only minor issue is at HIGH RPM, the synchronizer between 1st and 2nd gear will grind a little.  If you drive like a normal person it is not an issue. Every other shift is smooth as butter.

I have not replaced the brakes or clutch since I owned it but I don't hear, see or feel any issues with them.

If there is anything I have missed I can be contacted through eBay.  Just ask for my number if you want to discuss but dont want to post my phone number in the listing.

I have made a brief video for you to view, thanks for bidding and you wont be disappointed in this car, I have already put my life savings towards repairing it!  Just kidding.  :)

I will not ship or arrange shipping, it will be 100% the buyers responsibility to get the car, it is being sold AS IS with no warranty. However, I can pick you up from the airport if flying in to drive it back.

Volkswagen Golf R Evo may debut at Beijing Motor Show

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

If a report in Auto Express is correct, a lighter, faster brother to the Volkswagen Golf R will be shown to the world at the Beijing Motor Show in April. Said to be called the Golf R Evo, the even harder hot hatch would be unveiled as one of those concepts that's practically a de facto presentation of the genuine thing. The Evo in its name will come from having a carbon fiber roof and CF in the bodywork, lighter wheels, thinner bucket seats up front and a roll cage instead of rear seats.
If there's a power increase, it's been described as "a small bump." However, as the report mentions, if the Jenny Craig regimen can drop 100 kilograms (220 pounds) from the the 3,247-pound weight of the European Golf R, then the Golf R Evo will do about the same damage on the scales as the Golf but have at least 50 more horsepower and 44 more pound-feet of torque.
Since we still don't have the current Golf, this isn't something that should keep you awake even if the 'concept' does become a production model. But it is good to know that the Golf R is really going to start pushing its boundaries.

Translogic 168: CES 2015 Roundup

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Translogic and the yearly CES glorious gadget geekout go together like digital peanut butter and high-def jelly. At this year's show, surrounded by an egg-shaped Mercedes-Benz concept and the re-introduction of, of all things, the Sony Walkman, we had some fun. Between talking with Volkswagen about its new gesture-control tech and flying some video drones, we squeezed in some time to shred on ZBoard's new electric skateboard. The future is now.
