This has been my daily driver for the past five years and as such will show it's 11 years and 170k miles on it. With that said though, I take very good care of my cars and this one has not been an exception. When I originally purchased it I swapped out just about everything that was rubber or rotated and then started adding on the power and handling mods. The car plus mod list easily went over $20k and was worth every penny of it. With the proper tires on it (not LRR) it can almost hang with a Mini Cooper S on the track (~3sec / lap slower at H2R). Yet when you leave it on the street it can still pull out 800 miles per tank of fuel and I regularly get 55-58mpg driving to work with the cruise set to 65mph. It averages 50mpg per tank as long as you drive nicely, yet you don't have to hyper-mile or do anything other than set the cruise to the speed limit.
The 2003 is also the last year of the old 2 door TDI cars, yet the first year of the power windows and locks on them. It took me almost a year to find this car back when I got it due to the fact I wanted a 2 door car with power windows. Just not that many of them out there. If you are looking for a boring stock TDI this is not the car for you. Please read up on the mods before even thinking of purchasing. I haven't done anything radical to it that would affect its drive-ability, but please don't expect to buy it for KBB or what you found on craigslist for a jacked up 300k mile 4 door beater with a salvaged title... But, it also is not a show car and does need a few things if you want it to look and drive like new. Headliner and door cards are starting to bubble from the heat and glue taking their toll on the foam padding. Airbag light recently came on and is not turning off, in the past it has had a slight grind when shifting from 1st to 2nd at the higher end of the rpm range. Paint is peeling off of one hubcap. Quite a few rock chips and dings all visible in the photos. I'm quite honest with condition of items, so if you have questions don't hesitate to ask. Leave your number in a message to me and I will give you a call to go over everything that I have ran across in the past five years. Not that it matters, but I am only getting rid of the car for something a bit larger and more comfortable. I do have the car listed in other places and reserve the right to pull the ad at any time should it sell. On to the parts list; The below items are just off my spreadsheet of parts/prices, but they do show probably 95% of what has been done to the car and everything is currently installed.

CARB has 20 days to confirm VW's 3.0-liter TDI emission fix
Wed, Feb 3 2016VW's diesel scandal has been in the headlines since last September, but solving the problem it proving difficult. Volkswagen Group has submitted a proposal to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to fix about 85,000 vehicles with the 3.0-liter diesel V6 in the US, Reuters reports. CARB now has 20 business days to test if the plan actually reduces emissions. If accepted, VW could finally begin a recall and end the stop sale on vehicles with these engines. In a statement, CARB pledged to, "respond following a thorough and complete review to make sure the plan addresses the presence of the illegal defeat device and follows the necessary environmental, vehicle and public health and safety regulations." Neither CARB nor the EPA outlined the proposed repairs, but Porsche CEO Oliver Blume already suggested the fix for the engine in the diesel Cayenne. Examples from 2013 and 2014 allegedly need a new catalytic converter and software update, and those from 2015 and 2016 only need the improved code. It's not yet clear whether this procedure would work for all models with the 3.0 TDI. While the EPA issued the notice of violation against VW's 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel in September, the first one for the 3.0-liter V6 came in early November. By the end of the month, the agency broadened the scope to about 85,000 vehicles, including some examples of the VW Touareg, Audi A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, and Porsche Cayenne. The affected companies issued stop sales on new models with the engine. Audi eventually admitted to regulators that it didn't disclose three auxiliary emission control devices in the powerplant's code and promised to develop a software update to fix the problem. CARB gave the automaker 45 business days to submit the proposed solution. If accepted, this repair would allow VW Group to end part of the emissions scandal, but there's no guarantee the regulators consent to this solution. Just a few weeks ago, CARB looked at the automaker's plan to fix the 2.0-liter TDI and rejected it, claiming a lack of detail.
Audi prepping a flex-fuel A3 for Latin America
Fri, Oct 16 2015Volkswagen's Audi division hasn't fared well from its parent company's diesel-emissions scandal, especially in the US and Europe. In South America, though, Audi is set to unveil its first vehicle of the flex-fuel variety, according to Nseavoice. Perhaps the German automaker can earn some good karma down in the Southern Hemisphere. The model is the 2016 Audi A3, which is made in Audi's Brazil factory. The engine is a 1.4-liter variety, and it will be able to run on either conventional gasoline or ethanol, or a blend of both. The decision makes sense because ethanol is plentiful in Brazil since the government has long pushed for it and there's plenty of sugar-cane feedstock to produce the stuff. Audi can use all of the positive news it can get, especially in the wake of VW's diesel-emissions scandal. As many as 11 million VW and Audi diesels may have been fitted with software that cheats emissions-testing systems. One result from the scandal's proverbial shrapnel is that the Audi A3 TDI diesel was stripped of its 2010 Green Car of the Year Award by Green Car Journal. The decision marks the first time in the award's history that a winner was stripped of the honor. VW has a long history offering flex-fuel vehicles in Brazil. In 2003, the German automaker was the first to debut a flex-fuel engine, and within two years, VW's Brazil factories were making 300,000 flex-fuel vehicles annually. Other companies have since jumped into Brazil's flex-fuel fray, including Nissan and Honda.
