I think I'm the 2nd owner. I bought it back in 2005 or 2006. I can't remember the mileage when I bought it but it probably has that in the vehicle history report.
I've had various mechanics work on this over the years, all were diesel experts:
I did most of the regular maintenace, regular oil changes at 10k intervals, fuel filters at 20k intervals, and brakes. I bought the filter change kits and oil from IDParts. I always bought the proper VW recommended oil spec 506.01. I had a new windshield installed in July 2010. I installed four new tires in December 2012 from Costco - Bridgestone Potenza RE960 AS PP Performance H/V I installed a metal plate a long time ago to protect the underside of the engine and oil pan. I did this after I drove up onto a curb and it tore the drain plug off. They sit really low. I was close to the dealer so I had them replace the oil pan. I JUST installed a new battery for the tune of $175! Mind you ...it is massive. Engine and Trans are completely stock...no mods to ECU. This has been my daily driver till now. Everything works as it should. AC blows cold, heat is hot, sunroof works perfectly, Monsoon stereo works though I think a front speaker may be bad. I have a SiriusXM radio hard wired to the sound system. I JUST bought a new XM radio and the power plug is different from the one hard wired so you have to use the plug adapter. It's easy enough to clip the ends of the old power and splice with the new end if you want it to look clean. This avoids having to use the FM transmitter or cassette adapter crap. It works great, I had that and a radar detector installed professionally. They both go with the car but you obviously have to get a subscription for the XM. I will also include a Motorola Bluetooth FM transmitter/Speaker for handsfree operation of your cell phone. The interior is perfect, no rips or tears. Though I have to say, after sitting in my new Passat TDI, the drivers seat in the Golf seems pretty saggy/soft. If I end up not selling it I'll definitely be replacing it. I have OEM Monster Mats installed and also have the cloth mats. Mileage is great as you must know if you are looking at this car...why else would you buy a car with 183k if it wasn't a tank that gets awesome mileage right :-) Again, since driving my new Passat, I can feel the front end in the Golf is a little "squirrely". I'm guessing it needs new sway bar bushings again. For the longest time, when you hit 20k RPM, it sometimes "coughs" or hesitates. Dan, referenced above, had my whole engine apart and can't find anything wrong. The CAM shaft is perfect, the turbo is working as it should, it is just a mystery. It doesn't do it all the time either. I drive the car hard, and it performs great to this day. By hard I mean, not slow :-) It DOES have the original clutch so I must be driving OK right! Please ask all questions up front. Feel free to call Dan as he knows I'm selling it and agreed to give the skinny on it to anyone interested. He has done most of the more recent work on it. If you want to test drive it contact me for an agreeable time. The sale will be AS-IS as I can't really guarantee a car with 183k on it. I prefer pickup but if you need it shipped feel free to make those arrangements. Thanks for looking...please bid tons of money...it's worth it :-) --Joe I AM AN HONEST SELLER WHO DOES NOT SELL JUNNK. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK. I AM A LONG TIME EBAYER WITH 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK. |

Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
Volkswagen reveals Beetle GSR, R-Line convertible and two special GTIs
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Volkswagen has chosen to really expand its performance-tuned portfolio at this year's Chicago Auto Show, bringing along a couple of new Beetles destined for model year 2014, as well as a pair of freshened GTI packages that you'll be able to buy almost right away.
The first, and splashiest of the Chicago goodies on the VW stand has got to be the 2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR. Don't lose your temper, Acura Integra geeks; in this case, GSR stands for "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer," and harkens back to a sport-tuned classic Beetle from the 1970s. For the 2014 iteration, the GSR gets a 210-horsepower version of VW's 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder. That engine is enough to push the Beetle to 60 miles per hour in 6.6 seconds, and up to a top speed of 130 mph.
Of course, you'll have long-since noticed the shockingly yellow-and-black livery before you stumble across the Turbo badge on the rear deck. The GSR gets 19-inch alloy wheels, 235-section tires and a tea-tray rear spoiler, but it's the paint and graphics package that will decide if this is your (lemony) cup of tea. Things don't get any subtler inside the car, either, as VW has carried the colorway through to the interior, as well. Only 3,500 Beetle GSRs will be produced, with just more than half of those going to the US - call your dealer today, Wiz Khalifa.
VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
