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

Skoda plans big investment into electric cars as part of rebound effort

Wed, Mar 24 2021

PRAGUE — Czech carmaker Skoda, part of the Volkswagen Group, said on Wednesday it would invest around 2.5 billion euros over the next five years on future technologies, with more than half going to electric vehicle investment. The Czech Republic's largest exporter is hoping for a rebound in 2021 from a global car sales drop but faces uncertainty over the coronavirus pandemic and a semiconductor shortage rattling the industry. "This year is likely to be another big challenge," finance director Klaus-Dieter Schuermann said. "We expect Skoda Auto's group performance to improve, with sales revenue significantly above the level of last year." Skoda reported on Wednesday a 54.5% drop in 2020 operating to 756 million euros ($894 million). Sales revenue dropped 13.8% to 17.1 billion euros. Global deliveries remained above 1 million cars for a seventh straight year despite a 19% drop after production outages at the outset of the pandemic and a fall in China, its biggest single market. Chief Executive Thomas Shaefer said the car company was managing the semiconductor shortage "but it will follow us for awhile" and the impact was not visible yet. Skoda's core market in Europe would be electric in the future, Shaefer said, although it was still not time to completely switch away from traditional models, which include the launch last year of a new generation of its flagship Octavia model. It has also started production of the all-electric Enyaq iV model, which is a version of Volkswagen's ID.4. Skoda plans investments of 1.4 billion euros into electromobility development as part of its five-year investment plan. Investments will also go into digitalization activities and plant modernization. Related video: Green Volkswagen Skoda Electric

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
