SOLD
For those who are interested, the car was sold for $1500.
Hi folks,
My wagon bit the dust over the New Years weekend. The serpentine belt tore and was sucked behind the crank pulley, got under the timing belt, and toasted the engine. The car has ~398k miles on it, and the engine has ~260k miles on it. The car is currently located at PD Autowerks in Winchester, Virginia.
Details:
Reflex silver exterior
Gray leather interior
Upgraded turbo at ~260k on chassis
Upgraded injectors at ~260k on chassis
Euro towing springs at ~260k on chassis
VR6 front springs at ~260k on chassis
Injection pump - no problems
Upgraded downpipe at ~260k on chassis
Michelin LRR tires - good condition
Pioneer AVIC-X920BT head unit
Kicker component front and rear speakers
Kicker 0AWG wiring kit
Kicker 4 channel z series amp
Hopefully someone will be interested in this car as a parts car. Asking $1500 OBO. Thanks for looking.

Here are some additional details and photos of the car:
I'm in the process of collecting all of my records related to the wagon. I purchased it in North Carolina in 2008 with 218,000 miles on it. Scott Krout (trusted TDI mechanic) did a lot of the maintenance on the car, and I did things like oil changes (always used Shell Rotella T as far as I can remember). Around 260,000 miles I had a labyrinth seal fail on the original turbo and the engine ran away. The pistons and inside of the cylinders melted so that engine was trashed. Scott found a used engine with ~120,000 miles on it, and he rebuilt the car with that as a base. From there, I recall adding a VNT17 turbo, PP520 injectors, a Malone tune, an upgraded downpipe, and other upgrades to the car. The intercooler was replaced at one point due to the typical wear and leak. The suspension was upgraded with VR6 front springs, Euro rear wagon towing springs, and Koni oranges on all four corners. More details to come soon.
