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 Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
