I am just too busy to work on this car.
I bought it in 2005 with 75,000 miles on it.
It now has 405,000 miles.
It started running rough 2 1/2 years ago and I parked it and bought another car.
I think the intake needs cleaning? But I’m not sure?
I did a compression test on it.
Cyl #1 - 460 psi
Cyl #2 - 480 psi
Cyl #3 - 480 psi
Cyl #4 - 470 psi
So I think the engine is healthy.
I installed a new transmission from VW dealer at 305K ($3,500)
New injection pump installed at 175K (I still have the old 11mm core)
I drove this car 130 miles per day round trip to work. Honestly, it is a better driving car than the Camry I bought with only 20K miles. But I don’t have to tell you all that. It is simply a matter of me not having time to work on it and I don’t want to scrap it cause I know it is worth fixing.
If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM.
I’m not sure what to ask for it so I guess the first decent serious offer is where we start.
I will try to answer any questions you have on here.
