Asking $8500, reasonable offers considered. 5 speed, with factory sunroof. Very clean, inside and out, for its age. Seats, cloth, have no tears, or even much wear. Some scuffs on the front bumper, may have usual paint scuffs here and there, but nothing major to point out. Needs a decent...

An acquaintance has a 2005 TDI Golf manual with about 50k miles. They drive it once a month. Assuming average condition, what's a good range of value for it? They just want it gone, were asking about places to donate it. I'm asking for photos and condition, I'll post updates when I get some...

After spending the first 6 Sundays of the new year wrenching on the Golf, I'm done. My kids are nearly teenagers and we were only driving my truck on long trips so the Golf was not a good fit any more (at under 10k miles a year, it was always more of a pipe dream anyway: new commute is only 10...

[edit: sold, thanks. $7500,FYI] Plan on selling soon. 158,XXX miles. Everything's in great shape. Black, with tan cloth interior, hidden hitch, rubber floor mats, panzer skidplate. Exterior still shiny, a few chips here and there, NO dents at all. Being the PNW, I'm thinking around...

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ctd/2824879496.html In researching this passat wagon, the carfax suggested it might have been my daughter's 3rd grade teacher's car here in Spokane. I spoke to them today and it turns out it was, no question about it. If you're interested here's the...

I'm looking at the elusive '05 Passat Wagon TDI, trying to decide if I want to trade the headache of my Golf (growing kids, 2 large dogs, 12 year old plastic bits that keep breaking) for the headache of the laundry list of time-bombs on a 100 to 140k mile Passat Wagon, and 7 year old plastic...

So the key fob went through the wash, now buttons not working (key blade still starts the car, as does the valet key). I tried to dry it out, batteries good, iso alcohol and hairdryer, 4 days on a window sill, nothing. I need a new one, but don't know if I'll be able to match it up to the...

The how to buy a used tdi makes no mention of the cam/lifter issue in PD motors, and nothing about HPFP problems in 2009/10/11?. There may be other omissions, but those are the most glaring to me; I'm not knowledgeable enough to make a comprehensive list, someone else should look it over and...

Someone grab this before gr$$n c@r c() flips it for $10k (if it's legit. says he's the original owner): http://allentown.craigslist.org/cto/2308819474.html

It was fine in the old filter (bosch), got a new wix (all I could find on a Sunday), leaks like mad. It feels like the second o ring won't engage. Found a bosch, feels like the second o-ring engages fine, but still leaking like mad. I suppose the T could be bad, but it has no visible cracks...

So it's a long story, sorry, here goes: History: Since I got the 2000 Golf (see signature) about 4 years ago, I've gone into limp mode maybe once a year, then 2x a year, and in the last six months it's increased to the point of every time I get on the highway not totally warmed up with the...

So my Dodge ate a water pump in one year (replaced it a year ago), bearing wore so badly that it threw the serp belt off. OK, the tensioner was worn also, helping or causing the off-tracking belt, I don't know. So it has a new WP, tensioner and serp belt. What I'm wondering about is the rust...

Really, it's totally gone, double clutching works perfectly, all other gears are like butter, really. Will I need to totally dismantle the tranny to replace? It already needs a clutch (well, actually a throwout bearing, clutch and DMF will be replaced with the proper SMF at the same time)...

Last night 3 13 year old kids broke into my Golf and tried to take the stereo. They woke me up, I watched them for a few seconds dumbstruck, and then quielty called the cops; 2 of the 3 got caught a few blocks away (they we're on foot, how far could they get?). Anyway, something I can't...

http://delaware.craigslist.org/car/674413293.html or would that be 352k miles? I'd check it out but it's too far realistically. Chris

First, a huge thanks to drivbiwire for cleaning, installing new nozzles (bosch p520, same as a sprint 520, I'm told), and pop testing my injectors. One day turn around, and his ultrasonic cleaner does a beautiful job. Anyone on the west half of the country should consider him if you need...

I saw this ad a while ago, as of yesterday the owner's had no one look at it (emailed him a couple times). It's kind of out of the way, but the price sounds fair. If I didn't already have my Golf, I'd get it and do a manual swap when the tranny dies. Has between 90 and 100k miles on it...

Would Elf full tech (0w30) be too light for the summer (2000 ALH)? We get about 2 weeks of 90-100F here, the rest is in the 70's to 80's. I hesitated (probably not long enough) to ask, but it's not in the "which oil" sticky, I searched, and read as much of the UOA thread as I could take, no...
