263k miles, Turbo went out. $750.00. Timing belt change due at 270k. Damage to driver side front fender (someone backed into it...even though I reminded my wife it was there):rolleyes:. Paint faded on the hood, roof and grill (clear coat pealing off on the grill).
Have replaced the following (mostly by reading this site...thank you):
Clutch (by trusted TDI mechanic)
turbo vane actuator
rear springs
shift boot
Intercooler (clean)
tie rods
vacuum hoses
vacuum pump
glow plug harness
rear ABS sensors
rear wheel hub (passenger side)
Limp mode fix kit
Arm rest repair kit

I do have pics...just not sure how to include them. If you are interested, I can email or PM them.

I have owned the car since 2003. Always used mobile 1 full synthetic. Trusted TDI mechanic completed the last timing belt change and he commented at that time the cam looked very good.

Adding to the deal... Vag-com and Bentley repair manual but now firm on $750:).
