Decided to offer up my TDI Beetle, have some other projects I am moving on to.
275k miles, bought it from a customer in need of some TLC.
What I have done:
DFIS rebuilt injection pump
New timing belt and related bits
New accessory belt tensioner, idler, alternator pulley
New Luk DMF/clutch set
New Bilstein front struts and mounts
New tie rods
New sway bar bushings and links
New control arm bushings
All new filters and fluids
Inner CV joints lubed and swapped side to side
New cooling fans, thermostat, lower hose (hose due to leaky injection pump)
It also has:
RC stage 1 tune
DG skidplate
Tires are decent but cheapo
Interior is filthy (tan), headliner starting to droop, door panel trim poor, etc. Armrest lid broken, one of the seat release handles is broken, etc. Non smoker, does not stink.
Rear hatch release sometimes times out before you can get back to open the hatch.
Brakes mediocre but functional
Headlights not that great
Clearcoat peeling on front bumper cover, a few tiny spots on hood, etc. But car is not an eyesore, not crashed or anything
Initial beginnings of foam bits starting to come out of dash, not too bad yet
Hubcaps missing logo, one wheel has some scratches
Flex section of exhaust pipe has tiny leak, and previous owner had exhaust shop weld a bad spot so now it is one with the rest of the exhaust, not awful, but it is a leak
Speakers sound blown, but radio (and cassette) work fine
Car starts easily, runs good and strong, does not smoke, no oil leaks, trans shifts perfect, has a Hidden Hitch on it (bike rack carrier), no MIL on, mechanically well sorted
$2900
car has been SOLD to a local fellow
Time to move on to the next untooefing!
