This TDI served me well for over 2 years but it is time for it to go now that I am not driving such long distances to work.
Motor has some upgrades. This is what the previous owner said he did to it:
"Stage 2 computer program - Fuel injector spray nozzle upgrade - Stage 3 durable clutch replacement with a solid extremely lightweight flywheel done at 158,000mi "
The body kit gives it a nice look but the front and back bottom parts have been cut off due to cracking. (see pics)
Here is what the previous owner said about the air box and the hood scoop:
"Hood with a custom air intake scoop, the hood scoop came directly out of Mark Martin's NASCAR he wrecked at Lowes Motor Speedway in Concord, NC and molded into the hood - Custom handmade aluminum airbox"
Has 18" Sitka Wheels, Tires have less than 10,000 miles on them.
New timing belt, tensioner, rollers, and water pump installed at 217,000 miles
Newer motor mounts (all three)
Had new brakes all around at about 220,000 miles
Always used Rotella T6 motor oil
AC blows cold
Has trailer hitch (I pulled a canoe on a trailer)
The bad things:
Headliner is staring to sag
Front and rear bumper lower fiberglass parts cut off due to cracking
Rear bumper has a small crack/hole in it on the driver's side
CD player works but is not fully seated in its slot. (probably an easy fix but I haven't tried)
Exhaust pipe weld broke and exhaust hangs down right under the front seats. (see pic) Sounds pretty good this way and does not drag. Should be an easy fix.
Paint clear coat is starting to peel
Power locks on the front doors do not work (The passenger door can be locked and unlocked by hand; the driver door has to be closed to lock it by hand)
Paint is starting to crack around the hood scoop seam on the hood
Throwout bearing is starting to make some noise
Solid fly wheel causes some vibration when motor is under torque
Cruise control does not work
Please ask any questions you have.

Former Audi chief designer Wolfgang Egger leaves Italdesign
Sat, Dec 27 2014The latest word from the international community of automotive designers has it that Wolfgang Egger is leaving Italdesign, but just where the accomplished designer will land next and who will take his place remain big question marks. Egger is a designer who has bounced back and forth between Italy and Germany over the course of his career. He was born in Germany but studied in Milan. He began his career at Alfa Romeo in 1989 and was named its chief designer by 1993 before being head-hunted by the Volkswagen Group in 1998 to head up the design department at Seat. A few years later he went returned to Italy to run the Lancia design department, and was subsequently renamed to the same post at Alfa Romeo. In 2007 he went back to his native Germany to head up the Audi design office, over which he assumed complete responsibility by 2012, but left Audi in 2013 to run Italdesign. For those unfamiliar, Italdesign is the studio founded by Giorgetto Giugiaro (pictured at left next to Egger) back in 1968 but which, along with many other Italian design houses, fell on hard times in recent years. The Volkswagen Group swooped in to rescue the troubled studio in 2010, turning it into something of an in-house advanced design department to provide an alternative perspective on the direction in which the group and its various brands could take their respective designs moving forward. With Egger now leaving its helm, Italdesign and its German parent company will need to find his replacement, and we're sure they'll announce one in due course. The bigger question on our minds, however, is where Egger himself will head next. Given the path his career has taken to date, we wouldn't be surprised to see him land elsewhere in the Volkswagen Group or find a new role in the expanding Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire. Then again, Egger could find it time to open an entirely new chapter. Watch this space.

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.
