I'm pretty close to making a move on purchasing a 2000 VW Jetta GLS TDI w/ 66,000 miles on it. 5 spd manual trans. I had a pre purchase inspection done by a trusted mechanic off of the website and just wanted to get the opinions of a few experienced members in regards to the outcome.
The current owner explained that he has replaced the MAF sesnor (himself) numerous times, and the CEL keeps illuminating.
There is also a CEL for the glow plug relay.
The current owner also explained that sometimes a loss of power is experienced. Which I would chalk up to an extermely clogged inake manifold, no?
Anyways, here's what the mechanic quoted me at to get the car back to perfection;
45.00 maf labor
340.00 decarb intake manifold
240.00 overlay for glow plug harness
65.00 glow plug relay
