2002 Volkswagen Golf Gls Tdi 5 Speed Manual Sunroof 50+ Mpg No Reserve! on 2040-cars

Year:2002 Mileage:134000
Location:

Niantic, Connecticut, United States

Niantic, Connecticut, United States

2002 Volkswagen Golf GLS TDI

This has the high demand 5 speed Manual Transmission
Clutch is fine, no issues.

1.9 Liter Turbo charged ALH engine
Timing belt and water pump, tensioner was done around 75,000 miles.
It had the 100,000 mile belt installed  

Turbo works excellent.

The glow plug system works fine. I installed a larger battery to assure it starts up on the coldest of winter mornings.

Power windows all work fine, as well as the power sunroof, gas door and rear hatch release.

The brakes feel good. The front brake pads have about 60% left. 
Rear brake pads have about %40 left. 

Shocks are great up front. The rear are still good but I would replace them when you do the brake pads, they were replaced maybe 5 years ago. The rest of the suspension is good.

Steering feels great and responsive.

Tires were just rotated. Two tires are about %80, Two tires I would replace soon. They are worn at one side because the car needed an alignment, which was done last year.

It is due for an oil change next month.

The fuel filter was replaced in November.

The car needs a small hose from the PCV valve on the top of the valve cover gasket to the intake tube (can be clearly seen on the engine picture). The car had another key/cluster programmed something with the security system would not let the car start with the key.

The body is very good for its 12 year old age and northern environment. The pictures should depict so. If you have any questions please let me know.

This car is very reliable. I would replace the tires before taking it on a cross country journey.
Despite the tires, the car drives excellent on the highway.

The cruise control works

The AM/FM works. I never used the CD or TAPE player. No reason for me to think it would not work.

The glove box latch is NOT broken

Head lights, turn signals, brake lights are good.

This car reliably will get me 50-55 MPG with reasonable highway driving

If you do not know much about the TDIs you *WANT* to buy a PRE-2004 TDI
(2003 and down). WHY? the 2004+ ALH motors have a newer, more problematic pumpe-duse fuel injection system.  The camshaft (upper engine) also fails prematurely on the 2004+. 

The 99-03 model Jetta, Golf, Passat, Beetle TDI are the ones to look for and buy. 

The car is located in Niantic, CT (near New london, New haven - southern CT)
though I commute to Providince, RI so I can meet you anywhere in that general area if that helps. The TF Greene airport in Providence is pretty close (PVD).
The Amtrak train also is very close (New London).

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.

Recharge Wrap-Up: Tesla, CarCharging and the EPA

Sat, Aug 23 2014

Credit Suisse analysts are bullish on Tesla. The group gives the electric car company's stock an "outperform" rating with a target price of $325. For its continued success, Credit Suisse cites the vehicles' superior technology, in turn offering more torque, roominess and reliability. Says analyst Dan Galves said of Tesla's competition with ICEs, "If Tesla can get to cost-parity with Internal Combustion vehicles and still offer $1,400 to $2,500 per year fuel savings to the consumer, it won't be a fair fight." Read more at Yahoo Finance or at Business Insider. In other Tesla news, Tesla Model S owners will be able to unlock and start their car using an iPhone. The Tesla app is adding this functionality soon, perhaps with the update to iOS 8. It's not yet clear how this function will work, but it's one more innovative convenience feature that Model S owners can enjoy. That means drivers will have less to carry in their pockets or purses when they go for a drive. Read more at 9 to 5 Mac. CarCharging Group has remotely lowered the amperage on some of its residential users' Blink charging stations to 24 amps. This will slow down the charging time for affected customers with 6.6-kilowatt charging by about 15 percent. The company cited safety reasons for the move, with concerns about overheating. The amperage reduction is temporary, until CarCharging is able to provide replacement parts for the chargers. Some are concerned about the delayed action, as well as the fact that the reduction was handled without owner permission. Read more at Plugin Cars. Ford is halting test drives and sales of certain C-Max hybrid and Focus models due to a safety concern. Cars made during a single week this month at a Michigan factory may not have enough ball bearings in the steering gear assembly, which could lead to loss of control. None of the affected cars have been sold, Ford says, and about 50 units are currently at dealerships. Just over 600 will need to be recalled. Dealerships have been notified of the problem. Read more at Reuters and the The Detroit News. A new EPA report shows that urban air in the US is becoming less toxic since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The report shows a 66-percent reduction in benzene, almost 60 percent reduction in mercury from man-made sources, 84 percent less lead and more.

Volkswagen Golf Wagon leaked ahead of official unveiling

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Wagons ho! These three images of the upcoming Volkswagen Golf Wagon have leaked online ahead of the car's official debut, which may very well be at the Geneva Motor Show. Looking over the photos doesn't really bring any surprises - after all, this is a VW Golf with a wagon rear end grafted on, or basically what we expect next Jetta SportWagen will be.
We can only share these three images at this time, but fret not, folks. There's little doubt that all the details and images will be flowing from Volkswagen in short order. In the meantime, click on the images above to view them in high resolution.
