SOLD - After purchasing a Cruze diesel I’m now ready to part with my cherished 01 Jetta. I have done most of the maintenance myself. What work I haven’t done myself has been done by Brian Hague (aka Alphaseinor). Some work early on was done by the local VW dealership. I have used this site as my number one reference for all things TDI and have performed all maintenance to the specific direction of this site.
Overview:
2001 VW Jetta TDI GLS
5 speed manual transmission
In dash CD + CD changer in trunk
2 working key fobs and valet key
Original owner’s manual
222,000 miles
The car is mechanically sound, I’ve recently dumped more cash into the car than the asking price. Example: Resealed fuel pump, new alternator, new battery, new AC compressor, blend door.
Pros:
Fuel mileage has been 48 -50 (52 when trying)
Many new parts (OEM)
Drives great
Meticulously serviced
No rust
No CEL
Original clutch has no slippage
Oil has always been Rotella T6 and filter has always been MANN
Cons:
In some areas the clear coat is peeling off
The fabric on the door panels is loose and coming off (passenger door)
Door dings
Wheel emblems have come off on the rear wheels
Broken glove box door handle
The car was involved in a minor rear-end collision in 2005. The body shop used OEM parts and did a great job. 11 years later it’s still fine.
