What i have for sale is my 1998 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. This thing is the definition of a work car. It does run and drive, but there is alot wrong with it, I will leave a honest description on it, to keep the suprises to a minimal. I did some trading in march and obtained this vehicle for a job i knew was coming up , which happenned to be 90 miles away from home one way. I made the trade, changed the oil in the car, changed the fuel filter, put some new tie rod ends on, new front brake rotors and pads. I drove it 4 to 5 days a week , 180 mile round trip a day for 3 months . It only let me down one time. The pipe that comes off the exhaust manifold and goes to the EGR Cooler broke clean off, flooding the cab with smoke when i accelerated. So i had it towed home. I ended up removing the EGR cooler, and plug welding the two flanges , the one right off of the exhaust manifold, and the one that the EGR cooler went to on the intake side. It didnt seem to affect anything as far as mpg or performance goes. I averaged anywhere between 38 and 42 miles a gallon, running about 75 ish on the highway. The car shifts through all 5 gears, doesnt pop out or anything, clutch doesnt slip, it actually cruises very well at 70 plus. Anyway, now for the bad....

First off, when you fire the car up, you get a big ole plume of black smoke, pretty cool, my old cummins truck did the same thing. Its not as noticeable, but it will continue to blow diesel smoke through the rest of the trip. In the pictures the car is just recently washed, but a couple thousand miles from now, the whole back end will be covered in diesel soot. I always thought it was pretty cool. The thing leaks oil pretty good, not enough were you have to add any between oil changes, but it does mark its territory everywhere it goes. There is not a single gauge on the dash that works. No speedo, no odometer, temp, nothing. So that means that the mileage I stated above is innacurate. I dont know how long before i got it that the guages went out, so I have absolutely no idea on the mileage. I figure i probably put 12 to 15000 miles on it since i've had it. The A/C blows hot air, the drivers door latch on the inside is non existant, so you have to roll the window down and use the outside handle. I got so used to doing this , that I actually open my door from the outside in my truck now. The glove box is in the same shape, it does not open. The previous owner used the trunk to haul transmissions, so it is pretty nasty. But on the good side, there are no signs of rust in the trunk. The rest of the car however, is getting pretty rusty. The rockers are gone, theres some small spots here and there, but there is a real nasty spot that you will see in the pictures on the rear passenger door jamb. Looks like someone tried to repair it a couple years ago, and did not have a clue what they were doing. Honestly I am suprised that the door even stays shut, but it does, and for this reason i keep it locked so i dont have to put any more wear or tear on it. The cruise control does not work . The CD player that is in it , doesnt really fit, i never did put a install kit in it, so its just sitting there, very easy to steal, its nothing special anywhere, but it does have a remote. I am sure I am missing something, but there ya have it. She runs, she drives, cant guarantee for how much longer, but it saved me a ton of money this summer. I have since moved on to a different job closer to home, and am looking to get into something a little bigger because i wont be driving so much. Its kind of hard to get a couple bicycles and fishing poles in the old girl. It is what it is, sold as is where is, you are more than welcome to drive it around the block a couple times. One thing i would definately recommend, and if you are looking at this, more than likely you are into these things anyway, but i would definately recommend a Timing belt change ASAP, from what I read, they are only good for 60,000 ish miles, and when they go, its game over, I have no idea when the last time it was done.

*** Since I've had it, i've been running Rotella T6 synthetic 5w40 in it (performed 3 oil changes), and I have also been running stanadyne fuel additive at every fill up***

*** Tires are decent for awhile, I have a full size spare, as well as a donut, I also have 4 unmounted Studded snow tires that will be included *****

Shoot me a text or give me a call at 419 707 2971 if you have anymore questions, or you can contact me through ebay or email at mycat8urskidoo@gmail.com

*** With all this fuel money your going to save with this beast, you can definately afford to buy that snowmobile you've always wanted, just happens to be i've got one for sale,. check out my other auctions to see my 01 zr440 sno pro for sale!***

Thanks

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
