Me & my wife have been looking for a tdi for awhile and thought we found one this weekend. But, after doing some research on here, we decided to pass because of Rothenbaucher parts being used for the new turbo, timing belt, etc. So thanks to everybody that takes the time to post useful information that us noobs can search for and find!
The good news is we found a '01 golf TDI a day later and bought it yesterday. We bought it from the 2nd owner, who bought it about 5 months ago but was forced to sell after putting alot of $$ into it using good parts and a good mechanic. It's higher mileage (278,900), but it runs great and with the timing belt done, new clutch/bearing/etc, new rotors, brakes, tires, & a few other things, we think we got a great deal. The guy we bought it from almost cried when we left.
