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.

VW promises 7-seat CUV for America in 2016

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

On the eve of the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has confirmed the imminent arrival of a new crossover. The model, previewed at the same show last year by the CrossBlue concept pictured here, will be unique to the North American market when it arrives here in 2016. The new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018.
That's a mighty big increase over the 600,000 vehicles which the Volkswagen Group sold here last year, but it's moving in the right direction: That number is already a 100-percent increase of what it sold here just five years ago. At that rate, VW should have little trouble meeting its goals, particularly with the arrival of the new crossover and the introduction of Golf production at its assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico. Read the full statement below for more.

VW Group recalls 27k Touaregs, Audis and Porsches for fuel leak

Tue, Jan 27 2015

The Volkswagen Group is one of the most expansive in the entire industry, and shares parts across more product lines than we could wrap our heads around. So when the German megalith finds a fault in one of its components, it has the capacity to spread like wildfire. The latest set of recall notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers vehicles from the Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche divisions. The problem revolves around the fuel injection system, which could potentially leak and cause a fire. The recall affects – deep breath now – the 2012 VW Touareg Hybrid, the 2011-12 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid and Panamera S Hybrid, 2011-12 Audi S4, S5 and Q7 and the 2012-13 Audi A7. All told, that amounts to 27,376 units, the owners of which can expect to hear from the manufacturer to have the fuel rails replaced, along with their corresponding seals (having nothing to do with marine mammals writing letters). RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System Fuel Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V019000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 26,008 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Audi S4, S5, Q7, 2012 Audi A6, Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid, and 2012-2013 Audi A7 vehicles. In the affected vehicles the fuel injection system may experience a fuel leak. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak in the injection system in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails and corresponding seals, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 10, 2015. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-822-2834 or Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are 24AP for Audi customers and 24BK for Volkswagen customers. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. ### RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System may Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V016000 Component(s): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,368 Manufacturer: Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696

Fri, Sep 17 2021

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.
