Hi there! New to the tdi forum and hopefully getting at 2006 this afternoon. It does have high mileage but i'm not worried about it. It thankfully is a manual transmission that has had it replaced for about 1800.00 and he has receipts.

Sadly i noticed that it had a hole in the intercooler pipe rubber hose. I am not sure if this is causing the low speed low rpm bucking or not. I have been reading where some have had ideas of the MAF sensors a few other things but their issues were problems at higher rpms. Where mine is in the lower. If anyone has some information on this let me know as i would love to pick it up this evening as long as it's nothing too serious! Even if it needed a new engine replaced i would probably still get it as long as it isn't too terrible to have rebuilt or replaced. I look forward to hearing ya'lls thoughts! it does have 230k on it.

Supposdly the timing belt has been done and has around 20k-30k miles left but no proof so ill be looking into that sooner then later.
