Selling my Silver 2002 VW Golf TDI, 5 spd., 4 dr. that has been tastefully modded (163 WHP). Runs perfect!! I'm the 2nd owner of this car and owned since 2008. I purchased the car with only 65K miles. It now has 116K miles. I had Andrew at AARodriguez Corp. (fixmyvw.com) do some modifications at 105K miles. The only reason I decided to mod it was because I was chasing the limp mode issue. I was tired of throwing parts at it and it not working. After I spent quite a bit of money with him doing the mods, it Still had the limp mode. After all that it finally turned out being my ECU. Andrew ordered a used ECU from a vehicle with only 46K miles, installed it, and have Not had a limp mode ever since. So, LOTS of new parts over the years I've owned it. The Timing belt, Surp. belt, water pump, pulleys, and tensioner were all done at 83K miles. Intake was also cleaned. The mods were recorded and we made a Youtube video of it. I will post the video and a list of parts / dates from my history with the car.

Mods include: VNT17 turbo, PP764 injectors, 3 bar map, SB Stg. 2 clutch, Malone Stg. 4 tune, EGR delete, and several other things. Records and receipts will be provided.


ASKING $7900.00 (Mods list and labor was almost $4K themselves).

I will get more pics soon. Interior is nice with no rips / tears. Only problem is just this summer did the headliner start falling (common problem). I've used tacks to pin it back up and seems to work fine.

How much torque? Damn that's nice very tempting. My 97 Jetta gasser just won't die though :). 485k miles just blew heater core.
I really like Cruze 2 diesel very tempting. But you have badass car! The temptation of simplicity of these ALH is high.

Somewhere in the 270 - 300 ft.lbs. range is the estimate for this mod list.


You never did the custom tuning and exhaust bit?
Never did. I liked how it drove without having to do anything else. I like Stealth mode. Didn't want the extra exhaust sound. I'm almost 46. Did that loud exhaust thing when I was younger.


Does it smoke?
Very little if at all. Now I can make it smoke by unloading the turbo and stomping on it as low revs, but I don't drive like that. Smoke is a bad thing (perception wise). I like a clean running diesel.

What mpg? Where are you located? I'd love to see it but hard with distance and all. I'm an hr west of Houston.

David,

How come you're selling this? (looks like you're shedding diesels)

Hopefully it will at least go to a good country home, easy life with highway miles and a loving owner who will care for it ;)

Not getting out of Diesel's by ANY means. Still have my 2016 Mega Cab RAM I ordered and bought in March 2016.

I just have a taste for a new toy. (evil grin)



IT SOLD TODAY!! Take care of it Jeremy!! I miss it already.

Glad you love it. I'm honestly extremely depressed after selling it to you though.

Not sure I'll ever come across another with such low miles and in good shape.

Oh well. Life will go one. New toy soon to come I hope.


Just wondering where it was assembled. Nice looking car
