2003 Vw Volkswagen Jetta Gls 1.8t Tiptronic Automatic on 2040-cars
Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Upgraded to a newer car, so the old daily driver is for sale.
Car is a 2003 Jetta GLS 1.8T with Sport Package -135,000 miles -Platinum Gray -5 Speed Automatic with Tiptronic -Heated Seats -Black Cloth Interior -Sunroof/Moonroof -Monsoon Stereo -Owners Manual as well as all 3 keys in hand -Monster Mats (rubber) as well as cloth mats included I have installed a couple of cosmetic items which include: -Smoked GLI tail lamps -Smoked front side markers and turn signals -GTI 3 spoke steering wheel -Steering column mounted boost gauge (see pictures) Timing belt was done at 113,000 miles. At that time, water pump, cam seals, crank seal, valve cover gasket, and cam adjuster seals were all replaced. The engine does not leak a drop of oil. Car will come with stock 17 inch wheels with summer tires on them, as well as a set of 15 inch snow tires on separate wheels, obviously. The snows are currently on the car, have very few miles on them, and are virtually brand new. (See pictures) Summer tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric (225/45/17) with about 60-70% tread remaining. Snows are General Altimax Arctic (195/65/15). Car has GIAC software which was done locally by AWE tuning. Software has only been in the car for a few months. Receipt is in the car, as well as the hand held program switcher. You can switch it back to the stock tune if you want to for some reason. Car will come with a fresh PA state inspection, good til 12/2014 Some other items worth noting: -Burns a minimal amount of oil. Been using Mobil 1 0w/40 and Mann filters and car only uses about 1/2 quart between 5000 oil changes. High oil consumption is common with neglected 1.8T's, but this is not one of them. -All transmission solenoids were replaced about a year ago. This is a common 5 speed automatic 09A issue. Can cause delayed engagement of drive and or reverse, as well as a number of no or harsh shift issues while you are driving. All solenoids were replaced (I think there are 9 total) and the fluid was changed at the same time using factory VW fluid. Transmission works great, with no issues. -I replaced the driver's seat bottom foam and upholstery (which includes the seat heater element) a few years ago. That means the upholstery on the driver's seat is in excellent condition with no rips, tears or other damage, which is also common with these cars. Seat heater also works great. The only issues with the car are a minor leak from the passenger side axle seal, and some cosmetic damage to the car. The worst of the damage is a minor scrape on the right rear wheel arch area, and some deeper scratches on the rear bumper. Take a look at the pictures, nothing major here. Car has been well cared for and hopefully will find a great new home. Again, only reason for selling is that I purchased a newer Jetta Sportwagen because I needed the additional room for hauling stuff. Not trying to hide anything. If you have any questions, just ask. If you want to make arrangements to come and take a look at the car, please don't wait until the last minute before doing to. I will do what I can to help. I am also willing to help with pickup of the car if you need it, as in picking you up as long as it is a reasonable distance. I will not deliver the car to your doorstep. Ask me and we can figure something out. Buyer is responsible for fees associated with transfer of the car into your name, which includes anything like title and registration fees. |

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
