Asking Price:
$1000 OBO
Located in Baltimore, MD area. Willing to deliver up to an hour, but my plates are coming back with me.
246k miles, timing belt was done at 225k.
1.9L TDI engine w/ 5 speed manual transmission
Candy White
I have enjoyed daily driving this car the past two years but the time has come to get something newer and more modern (but still diesel...)
The Good:
Runs and drives
Cruise control works (amazing)
AC works (if you charge it)
NO RUST, no accidents
15" alloy wheels from a MK3 golf or something
Rocket Chip 2 in ECU
Cluster recapped by Derek when I bought it
Minor parts/work done replaced by me when I bought it I have a whole spreadsheet of stuff but who cares
The Bad:
Driver seat fabric torn
Vent foam disintegrated so heat isn't very effective
Tires are pretty old
Clear coat is peeling off in some places
Pump seals leak when run on ULSD. I run biodiesel and don't have problems.
Probably some other minor issues I am forgetting right now
The Ugly:
Head gasket is going. No overheating but tell-tale signs of coolant in oil. Could possibly also be the oil cooler I guess.
MASSIVE oil leak coming from underneath the car. Probably oil cooler gasket. Needs topping off pretty darn regularly and leaves a trail in my driveway. Not cool.
Offering mainly as a parts/repair car to someone who also has a B4/B4V. The body is in really good shape. Good candidate for repair/engine swap or just used as a parts car. I guess you could just drive it as is if you REALLY want to, but I wouldn't recommend it. I'd rather it go to someone who knows what it is than just donate or scrap it, so I'm putting it up here.
