2004 Volkswagen Jetta Gls 1.8l Turbo on 2040-cars

Year:2004 Mileage:198438
Location:

Warwick, New York, United States

Warwick, New York, United States

Up for auction is a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8l Turbo in Reflex Silver.  This car has 198,438 miles. The original transmission has been replaced (I can show receipt).  I have kept a log on everything I have done to this car including oil changes, tire changes, tune-ups, timing belt replacement, etc. The MIL(Malfunction Indicator Lamp)is currently on due to a vacuum leak caused by a bad Brake Booster pump.  This part runs for about $200 on Germanautoparts.com.  It runs fine when accelerating but does experience some engine shutter when stopped or idling.  

Here is a list of the parts I have replaced recently:
  • Transmission replaced @ 186K miles (replacement transmission had 92K miles)
  • New Oil Breather Hose
  • New Air Pressure Regulation Valve (Boost control valve)
  • New Timing Belt, Timing Belt Tensioner @180,084
  • New Water Pump @191,234
  • New Champiro Icepro snow tires @192,586 miles
These are the current fault codes causing the check engine light:
  • P1429:  Activation of Brake Vacuum Pump gear circuit
  • P1297:  Connection charger to throttle valve; pressure dropped
  • P1136:  Bank 1; system too lean
  • P1166:  Engine torque signal
Again, I believe these fault codes are being caused by the bad Brake Booster Vacuum pump.  I have replaced every other part that could have caused the vacuum leak.  I have the original manuals and (2) sets of key fobs.  A Volkswagen fitted cargo mat is also included.  I will also include my VAG Scanner as an extra to the winning bidder.  This car will run like new once the Brake Booster Pump is fixed as I have replaced almost every major part requiring a large investment (transmission job alone was $2,200). 

I average 27-28 MPG on the highway in this Jetta.  Air conditioning still works, ice cold!    

In the interest of full disclosure I have included all the issues known to me.  See arrows in pictures pointing out body damage.  This is my daily commuter car so actual mileage will increase by end of the auction.  The vehicle is sold as is, no warranty.  Please feel free to email me with any questions.

NA auto output to reach 11-year peak

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

According to Automotive News, automakers are expected to manufacture 16 million light vehicles in North America in 2013. That's up 500,000 units from last year and marks the largest number since 2002. The prediction comes courtesy of LMC Automotive and IHS Automotive, which point to the improving US economy as a bellwether for total production. LMC Automotive says North America will produce 16 million vehicles while IHS has a slightly more optimistic forecast of 16.1 million units. A total of seven automakers are slated to increase production on the continent this year. Nissan is set to see the largest jump at 20 percent over last year.
Volkswagen, meanwhile, is one of the only manufacturers predicted to scale back production. Analysts expect the German company's output to fall by 23 percent to 170,000 units, thanks in part to slow demand for the Volkswagen Passat and Jetta.

The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
