Hello Everyone, I'm looking for advice on a possible Purchase of a 2004 Jetta TDI (manual) @ 230K miles
I test drove the rig last night and it ran well for the most part, Clutch did seem good and shifted smooth. low end power was not there but got up to speed just fine. It did have a battery that was dead and had to be jumped and with reving it up the turbo might of made a flutter but don't know the TDI sounds so this could just be me worried about the turbo needing to be replaced
It did have quite a bit of codes but from reading up on the codes could just be electrical and cleaning of the egr.
Codes below: If I buy I will get a Vag-com for proper diagnostic
p0245
p2102
p1027
p2426
p0670
p0684
p0128
Car is not modded in any way and the owner who has not had it for long doesn't know the last time the timing belt was changed.
I've owned diesels before (Not TDIs) and not against working on them but not looking for a Project as well. I'm hoping the Gurus on this forum could tell me that the codes shouldn't be to much of a worry and likely sensors/Relays would fix the issues at hand. Timing belt doesn't bother me having to replace or the glow plugs. Biggest worry is about replacing the turbo and camshaft/Lifters. Any advice would be great Thanks in Advance.
