Hi guys,
I'm a long-time member and I still absolutely love my TDI. However, I am considering selling it because I need something with 4 doors due to a new addition to the family, and I'm moving much closer to my job where I don't really need the excellent fuel economy anymore. Plus, I'd really like something a little nicer and a lot faster.
Here are the basics:
2002 Golf GL TDI 2-door
approx. 113k miles
3nd owner, purchased in 2005 with ~38k miles
02J 5 speed transmission (code EGR) (swapped from automatic) with:
- 108mm axle flanges and matching VR6 axles
- Peloquin limited slip differential
- .681 tall 5th gear
- Bleached Bora dual diaphragm clutch kit with 20lb SMF
- Diesel Geek Sigma 5 short shifter
sprint 520 injector nozzles
RocketChip Stage 3 (smokes much less now compared to pic in my sig)
stock turbo and intercooler
vented fender liner
20th Anniversary Edition GTI Recaro Sport Seats with high side bolsters and adjustable lumbar support
17"x7.5" Audi TT "Fat Fives" polished aluminum wheels with good tires
(will also include a set of 18"x8.5" Flik Artics with not so good tires for the right offer)
Tinted windows
Smoked fender markers and front bumper lights
Projector Head Lights with 6000k HIDs
GTI tail lights
GTI rear lip with Stainless Steel Ractive 4" oval exhaust tip
stock muffler replaced with 2.5" Moroso Spiral Flow muffler
Diesel Geek skid plate
H&R Sport Cup Kit Matched Springs and Shocks
O-Bar Rear Sway Bar
Brand new Interstate battery
Audi TT Aluminum dead pedal and pedal covers
Gray R-line floor mats
0-30 psi boost gauge with offset steering column gauge pod
7" in-dash touchscreen car computer based on Asus Eee PC:
- GPS Navigation
- USB Hub in Glovebox
- Clarion CD player relocated to glove box
- IR repeater to control CD player with remote
- Parrot CK3100 bluetooth handsfree calling
I'm probably forgetting something but that's all I can think of right now. I'll add more pics later, and anything else I might have forgotten from the list.
It has had proper maintenance throughout with a slew of supporting paperwork. Timing belt done early at 53k miles when engine mount broke and was repaired, and then again at 104k mi. with 100k kit.
It has a clean carfax, except for one minor ding in the driver's door that has since been repaired, but was reported as an accident because I was in college at the time and needed the insurance money to have it repaired properly. I have pictures before and after. There are a few rock chips here and there that are usually associated with a 9 year old car., but the paint still shines like new and has no real damage whatsoever. Also, the headliner and door card fabrics are sagging, but I plan to get these replaced or redone before the sale.
Not 100% sure if I really want to sell yet.
