Hi, I am selling my 2003 Volkswagen Jetta TDI with only 149,238 miles and a manual transmission. It has always been maintained and the engine and transmission are in excellent shape. The clutch shifts well and there are no problems in any of the gears. You can tell that the car has always been driven by experienced manual transmission drivers. The turbo sounds great and makes the raspy noise that you want to hear when you are accelerating through the gears. The oil has been changed every 5,000 miles with the proper 503 synthetic grade oil which is recommend by VW for its turbo diesels. The timing belt was replaced at 132k miles and I have the receipt. The turbo was also replaced at 132k miles. Every once in a while a factory turbo fails early on these cars from my research. The great thing about having a brand new turbo is that the performance of the engine is like the day she rolled off the line. I am a pilot and take excellent care of my airplanes and cars. 

The seats are black leather and they are in excellent condition with no stains, rips, or tears. It has traction control, heated seats, power windows, power locks, AC that blows cold, a Monsoon CD player, and a Moonroof. The traction control works great when driving in the winter and you will feel a noticeable improvement in handling. It has the fold down rear seat so you can haul things like skis. The rear headrests, slide-out cover for the luggage compartment, spare key, spare tire, tire changing tools, maintenance receipts and the owners manual are also included. The previous recent maintenance receipts include the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, engine air filter, glow plugs and etc. The tires are brand new. I have over $2000 in preventative maintenance receipts for only this past year alone.

On the interstate it handles well. When you take your hands off the wheel at 70 mph there is no pull to the right or the left. The car handles very well and there is a lot of life left in the suspension.

The car has spent most of its life in Colorado and has no rust. The previous owner was an older lady and you can tell that she took care of the car. It has never been smoked in. The paint is in excellent shape as you can see from the pictures and there are only a couple of minor parking dings. Everything works in the car including the air conditioning which blows cold.

It has never been in an accident and has a clean carfax which I can email you.

The 2001-2003 VW Jetta Wagon manual transmission TDI's are the most desirable out of the tdi years because their 1.9 liter engines get the best gas mileage and the cars had excellent rust protection. It is rare to find a VW tdi wagon with this option package (black leather seats, heated seats, and traction control). The 2004-2005 year models had a problem where VW used the wrong grade of oil in the camshafts, so the original camshaft has to be replaced somewhere around 125k miles.

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski  Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.

Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.

The 2023 Chicago Auto Show played host to a number of reveals this year, and we were there to capture all of them. In traditional auto show fashion, that means you’re getting a mega gallery of galleries to flip through and see all the vehicles on the show floor. Our EditorsÂ’ Picks from the show are already out — spoiler alert, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander took home the prize. That said, there were other important reveals like the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport and the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. We also learned some interesting tidbits, such as the fact that VW is considering a pickup, and Jeep owners really are plugging in.
