Hi all - there is a deal pending on this car. I highly anticipate that it will go through. Thanks for the interest, I'm flattered that my little car is/was so highly sought after! -Darren PS About the window switch - I put tape on it to keep me from accidentally trying to open the window in...

Added some details about the car. As I was cleaning it up, taking photos, I remembered some other stuff. I added it above in blue.

Not sure what you are referring to with the windshield - it's fine as far as I know. The door was just left ajar when I took the photo - my bad. The driver's side door is fine. The driver's side window is in need of repair - I stupidly tried to open it on a cold day, and the motor coughed ans...

All - I added some timing belt details above. There seems to be much concern that the timing belt is/was due at 80k mile intervals. That is not correct (on this car). This is a 2003 with the 100k mile timing belt interval. It was replaced at 98,6** with another 100k mile belt. (see above for...

Hi all - here are some quickie photos...I have NOT had a chance to detail or even wash this car - was too busy buying a truck today. A lot of people have been expressing interest and asking for photos so here are a few. I will really try and get the car cleaned up and take some more photos later...

Sorry. Manual transmission.

See above: Amsoil, Delvac, Rotella Synthetic. A TDI enthusiast/mechanic in Fowlerville.

I just added some detail to my original post that I had forgetten concerning a slow leak on one of the wheels.

Not unless you've got a Chevy Silverado or a GMC Sierra 4x4 extended cab 2009 or newer. :)

I'll add some photos once I get a chance. I'm asking $5,000 obo. This is negotiable. ***PHOTOS HERE*** This is a 2003 VW Golf GLS TDI with 180,000 miles. 5-speed manual tranny. Options and add-ons are: GLS trim stuff - Moonroof, power windows, locks, heated seats, etc. (NO stability control)...

Just replaced the MAF with the $85 one I ordered from TDIparts.com, and it runs great. Thanks for the suggestions. Oh - by the way, I have read that the only MAF's under extended warranty are those found on pre-2003 models (mine's an '03). Thanks again. -Darren

I apologize if this is a redundant question, although I did use the search function to try and figure it out myself, I'm having trouble figuring it out. haha Also, my car runs like crap, and I'm at work and in sorta a rush to get the proper part ordered, and really shouldn't be surfing the...

650 hp, and 800 ft/lbs torque: http://microsites.audiusa.com/motorsport/

Hey, this station isn't really a secret I guess, since its on the biodiesel.org website, but I filled up there recently and thought I'd drop a post in here for anyone interested. Basically, its a Crystal Flash on M-37 (Alpine) in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I filled up with what they call "Soy...

Thanks for all the input. I don't know a thing about clutches and trannys but I'll pass the info on. Hopefully they can call VWofA and work something out. These people have owned a LOT of VW's. We're talking the whole family drives one!

Wow...Well its not looking good for my friend then. Kinda sucks since we're talking about someone who has probably owned at least 5 VW's in the last 20 years (i.e. didn't learn to drive a 5-speed in the first 12k miles on this car...). I believe he even bought this car on a VW "Owner Loyalty"...

Trying to help out a friend here - kinda a weird question... Situation: 2004 Jetta TDI with ~12,000 miles, West Coast of Michigan. Apparently the clutch is gone (according to the local dealer after my friend couldn't get the car to shift into 1st gear). Apparently, the dealer told my friend...

Re: Northern Michigan GTG? Hey all, this sucks, but unfortunately, something has come up and it doesn't look like I will be able to do the GTG on the 26th... It looks like the two guys who wanted to wrench also cancelled, so hopefully this won't disrupt too many people. I hope those who do...

Re: Northern Michigan GTG? Yeah, as far as those who want to get some work done, you're welcome anytime in the morning...I'm usually up at 7am on weekends. I'm not really much of a mechanic yet so if anyone needs expertise, I'd suggest arranging to have someone who is more knowledgeable meet...

Re: Northern Michigan GTG? March 26 sounds good to me...My garage can accomodate a few cars before or after lunch if need be. Just keep in mind, my facilities are not the greatest! North Peak sounds good for lunch or dinner, or whatever we decide. Maybe we should plan a road trip too? There...
