Applied the sil-glyde lube to all 4 door latches a little while ago and tok the car around the block. The creaking is still there, but quieter than before. Maybe the latches need more lube, or something else beside the latches is making the noise. The creak seems to be coming from the rear of...

Had a creaky passenger door creak on a 99.5 Golf GL a few years ago. An application of sil-glyde silicone lube, purchased from NAPA, on the door latch shut the noise right up. I have since sold that car but my latest TDI, a 2002 Golf GLS, has similar creaks and I will try the same approach...

Thanks for the replies, folks. I'll leave well enough alone and wait for the 5k service interval.

The odometer reading is the real deal. The original owner is a truck driver who spent a lot of time away from home and away from the TDI, hence the low mileage. Unfortunately, this person suffered a layoff and the car's lienholder sent the car to the dealer for them to sell. The dealer only...

Earlier this week I picked up a 2002 Golf GLS TDI from the local VW dealer. This car was sold new by same dealer Feb '02. The original owner only put just over 1,000 miles on the clock. Now, the question. The engine still contains the oil put in it at the factory. Should I run the car as is...

Had some personal economic issues at the time. Really liked that car, missed it a lot when it was gone. The 2002 has more equipment than the 99.5 did. REALLY like the Mojave Beige color. Just don't see that color on a Golf much at all.

This past Monday I picked up a 2002 Golf GLS, Mojave Beige, Beige int, lux package, 5-speed. It was bought new Feb '02, only has 1,000 miles on the odo. Car is absolutely cherry. This car marks my return to the TDI ranks after a two-year absence. I sold my last TDI, a 99.5 Golf GL, in...

I think a really interesting drivetrain would be the TDI engine mated with the continuously variable transmission currently offered in the Audis.

Thanks to all of you who responded to this post. The car has been sold.

The car is still for sale, is still red, and just turned 36,000 miles. The asking price is now $12,900.

While we're on the subject of heated mirrors, I've got a question. I have a 99.5 Golf GL TDI. Two-door car, non-power adjusted outside mirrors. It said on the window sticker that the outside mirrors were heated, but two dealer service departments told me that these models definitely do NOT...

I bought it new in January 99. 5-speed transmission. 35,000 miles. 35K service just done. Flash Red with black interior. 4 new Michelins at 23,000 miles. VW rubber floor mats, VW 6-disc CD changer, VW in-dash cassette holder, VW splash guards. All stock wheels/wheel covers. Unmodified...

Back when they were still being made, I was interested in buying a Nissan Sentra SE-R. The brochure stated that this model had a viscous limited-slip arrangement on the front differential. Wound up not buying the car, feeling it was too small, but it was an excellent driving machine.

33,000 miles on '99 A4 Golf GL TDI.

The owner's manual on my '99 Golf TDI said that the hatch unlocked with the rest of the doors, but there was a revision added to it that indicated this was not so. The only ways to unlock the hatch are to use the release button on the drivers door, or use the button on the remote key fob, or...

32,000 miles on '99 Golf TDI and I've added maybe 1/4 quart total along the way.

Well, here's another 2 cents for the pot. Regarding the trouble in the Ford engine, none of the postings specifically mention this, but it may have something to do with it. In that generation of 5.0 engine, there is a small PCV filter beneath the PCV valve, about the same diameter as a nickel...

OE Badyear LS's on my '99 Golf GL TDI replaced at 23,000 miles with Michelin Energy MXV4's. Had good experiences with Michelins in the past, and these tires do not disappoint. Not hearing the howl from the cupped Eagles alone was worth the price of admission. Ride quality and wet road...
