2004 Volkswagen Jetta Tdi Sedan 4-door 1.9l- Mobile, Alabama on 2040-cars
Fruitdale, Alabama, United States
|
Avg 40 mpg. I am the third owner and bought the car at 106K in Feb 2009. Cam shaft and followers replaced at about 100K by previous owner and I have the receipt. Runs great, very cold A/C, very good tires, new battery, new alternator. I have receipts for all repairs I've made, tires, battery, etc. I have only used synthetic oil. According to the previous owner (a dealer who had been using this as a family car for two years), the timing belt was replaced at 90K, but I don't have that receipt. I had it checked by a mechanic recently and he said it looks fine. I have only made minor repairs.

This has been a very reliable car. It has great power and very cold A/C. I bought a Prius from a friend and no longer need the Jetta. Comes with Autel Maxscan VAG405 computer code reader. There are two glow plugs that need to be replaced, which make the check engine light come on. I bought the reader because I recently had a bad diagnosis of faulty transmission (caused by low battery/alternator - both replaced) and wanted the ability to check the codes myself to sure there are no additional problems if the check engine light comes on. Private party value: Edmunds $4937, KBB $4489. |

Audi CVT suit settlement given green light, 64,000 cars covered
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Audi drivers, listen up. If you bought or leased a 2002-06 model-year A4 or A6 with a factory-installed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that failed, you may be entitled to reimbursement under a recently settled class-action lawsuit with corporate parent Volkswagen.
According to Automotive News, the settlement covers about 64,000 vehicles and alleges that "manufacturing and design problems caused the transmissions to fail and left owners stuck with repair costs." While the suit also argues Audi was aware of these issues (going so far as to hide that knowledge from consumers), the settlement stops short of acknowledging any wrongdoing by the German automaker.
Audi drivers are eligible for a cash reimbursement if their CVT repairs occurred within 10 years or 100,000 miles of the date they bought or leased the vehicle before June 19, 2013. To be eligible for compensation, drivers must submit a claim form (found here) with supporting documents by November 18.
Help a couple drive their 1984 Vanagon around the world
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Meet Brad, Sheena and Nacho
Driving through China is a pricey proposition. The couple will need to pony up a staggering $19,514 just to cover the fees.
Brad and Sheena Van Orden are in the midst of a life-defining campaign to travel around the world, and they're doing it in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon custom built for the occasion. The past 15 months have seen the couple quit their jobs with Gore-Tex and drive from Arizona to the very southern tip of Argentina after spending a full two years saving and preparing for the trek. Now they're in southern Asia gearing up for the next leg of their journey.
UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
