Hello everyone, New guy here, just joined up and thought I would introduce myself.
I just picked up a very nice and lightly used 2000 Golf GL TDI with 99k on the clock! And I couldn't be more pleased with it. Its is everything I thought it could be. It was the only 2 door TDI Golf I could find and thank goodness it was very well cared for without high miles.
This is not my family's first TDI though, my wife had a NB TDI with the works for about 2 months (3400 miles on it) before she accidently pulled out in front of a Suburban running 45mph, it totaled it but she was fine suffering only one laceration to her wrist.
To date our extended family owns 5 TDI's right now that see daily use (1 Passat, 2 Jettas, 1 New Beetle, and my Golf), so to say we like TDI's is an understatement.
Anyway, I'm happy to be driving a TDI again and also glad I found this site, it has already been a great resource for solving a couple small problems on my Golf.
1. Broken Dipstick Tube
2. Whistling noise under hard acceleration
Plans for the Golf are simple right now. I would like to get my hands on some 18" BBS rims for it and probably at least have it chipped for now. Then who knows, time and money will decide.
Well, here she is in all her glory.
