2005 GL TDI

181,000 Miles
Recent additions:
-4 Brand new Michelin Primacy Tires (over $500)
-Rebuilt front end, all new control arms, etc.
-All four new shocks/struts
-Changed oil, fuel filter, air filter, cabin filter, in the last 500miles.
- changed Thermostat, thermostat housing, coolant sensor and a hose in the back of the engine. (we had a small coolant leak and I went overboard in fixing it, no leaks now tho!)

At 130,000miles we had a ton of work done on the car,
-Water Pump, timing belt, alternator pulleys, etc
He also Installed the BHW Balance shaft retrofit kit (so no annoying chain, just gear to gear). This costs several thousand dollars but fixes a design flaw of this car. Not doing this repair, often results in engine damage.
-I also had a small leak in the EGR cooler at this time so I bypassed it. This does not effect the operation of the car, but you get a little emissions warning light.
-Had the RocketChip installed at this time. This was an awesome upgrade and makes the car MUCH more fun to drive. No worries about accelerating onto a highway, plenty of passing power.
-Installed updated Steel glowplugs.

We literally have a book full of all the things we've done to the car in the last 4 years.
I have always used the proper VW spec oil, coolant, and all other fluids, so no worries there.

The things that need to be addressed as they are not perfect:
-CV joints need to be done sometime in the near future as they are just starting to click on hard turns.
-Car door locks are starting to act funny with the key fob or sometimes with the switch on the door. I've heard this is a common problem but have not looked into it yet. Doors and rear hatch all function perfectly when used with the key (manually).
-Small piece of trim (1 inch) is broken by the rear driveside door. We looked into replacing it as it is a fairly common and thus cheap to fix issue, but honestly it never bothered us enough to worry about.

Otherwise, the car is a 2005. It has been used. Minor scuffs from usage. So expect what you would expect from an 8 year old car that has 181,000 miles.
I am aware of no mechanical defects other than what I have outlined above, I would trust driving it to wherever it needs to be driven.
This VW is very good for long road trips. Has 12V connections in the back of the car which we used for a cooler, is comfortable to drive long distances with, and gets good fuel economy. Fuel usage from the factory is stated as 24 city 37 highway. We kept a logbook where we manually entered fuel economy. On long road trips I could break 40mpg, in town only we never actually got below 29mpg. I would expect an average of 34 or so real world MPG. This isn't as high as a Golf or Jetta, but the car is so much more comfortable and it feels much more stable at highway speeds.

Reason I'm selling it? Simple. We recently got into restoring an old camper with the idea of doing a lot more traveling and camping before the kids get too old. Can the VW tow it? Perhaps, but the wife and I would feel more comfortable doing it in a larger vehicle. So we got a Ford Explorer that will be better suited to that duty. Sure going to miss our zippy little car and great fuel economy tho :P

Last two pictures are the small damage. Last one is a scratch in the surface of the paint. It is hard to see but I wanted to show it. Second to last picture is where that piece of trim is missing.

Thanks for looking!
Drew

Winterkorn will leave remaining VW posts by end of the month

Tue, Oct 13 2015

After stepping down as chief executive of the Volkswagen Group last month, Martin Winterkorn still retains a few key positions within and related to the German automaker. According to the latest reports, he's set to resign from those positions as well in the coming days. Aside from his former position as chairman of VW's executive board, Winterkorn has also served (and continues to serve at present) as chairman of the supervisory boards of Audi, truck manufacturer Scania (which is owned by VW), and the group's Truck & Bus division (of which Scania is part alongside Man). He's also the chief executive of Volkswagen's largest stakeholder Porsche SE, having taken up the position after the Porsche/Piech family enterprise acquired its majority stake in the group that also subsumed the sports car manufacturer. In what could prove a strong indicator of things to come, and according to the report from Reuters, Winterkorn was not present at a recent meeting of Audi's board. In his place, the meeting was presided over by deputy chairman Berthold Huber. The former labor leader also served as interim chairman of the VW board after Ferdinand Piech's departure but before CFO Hans Dieter Potsch was named to the post. The companies in question have yet to make any announcements regarding Winterkorn's remaining positions, or confirm the reports regarding his future. However parties close to the automaker and its owners reportedly expect the resignations from those positions to come as well before the end of the month, if not before the week is out.

Volkswagen caught testing hotter Golf R 400

Wed, May 20 2015

We're getting closer, folks. Last we heard, Volkswagen gave its super-hot Golf R 400 the green light for production. And before that, we were told that if the car got the go-ahead, it would be offered in the United States. So here we are, with a fresh set of spy shots showing what we believe to be the R 400 out testing. Here's one dream that might just be coming true. The prototype seen here sports bigger brakes, different wheels, very low-profile tires, a front lip spoiler, and a wing around back – that last bit looks to be borrowed from the GTI Clubsport. It's not nearly as outrageous-looking as the original R 400 concept, but that's okay with us. Volkswagen's production hot hatches have always been pretty subtle. We love a good sleeper. Under the hood, expect a turbocharged powertrain tuned up to over 400 horsepower. It'll be mated to a dual-clutch transmission and 4Motion all-wheel drive Â– two parts of the current Golf R package that work very, very well. There's no telling exactly when we'll see the production Golf R 400, assuming it's actually, really, finally happening. All we can do now is wait. And salivate.
