SOLD
Hello, I am posting my 99.5 Golf GLS Tdi for sale. Garage kept. I have put quite bit of work and money into the car. I am reluctant to sell it. The only reason I'm selling is due to my wifes constant nagging about noise and smoke. It has been super reliable and I have confidence driving anywhere with it.
It's originally an automatic so it has an 11mm pump. The 5spd transmission is rebuilt along with a new reverse gear that doesn't grind. The only issue (for some people) is the smoke during cold startup in cold weather and also one of the fenders is dented along with a scuffed front bumper. Aside from that, EVERYTHING WORKS on the car. If you're looking for something quiet, go buy a prius. This thing sounds like a truck. I just took a trip to Boston and pulled 49MPG for the entire trip. You can drive this car cross-country without any hesitation.
Here is my religious list of maintenance items I have tackled over the past 3 years:
There may be a few items that I have missed. In addition to that list:
-20k on heavy duty gates timing belt along with all supporting hardware (kit from bora parts)
-Heated leather seats from an '05 golf
-All the door card inserts have been wrapped in a suede-like fabric
-All the interior "cheap peeling" panels have been refinished with a special coating
-Pioneer navigation system with integrated bluetooth
-The paint is about a year and a half old
-R32 center console with cupholder
-R32 wheels in black
-Euro R32 rear taillights
-GLI 312mm front brake calipers and rotors with stainless lines [less than 5k]
-Full stainless 2.5" catless downpipe and autotech catback with dual tips and matching valence [less than 5k]
-Rebuilt 02J tranmission with new LUK DMF clutch kit, reinforced and welded pin in diff, new reverse gear, triple flushed after rebuild and now filled with Redline MT-90 [less than 5k]
-Custom class 3 hidden hitch (completely hidden when not in use)
-Raceland Ultimo Coilovers [less than 20k]
-Thule roof racks
-Battery is less than a year old
-New leather shift boot
-Frost Heater
-Remanufactured Bosch Starter [less than 5k]
-1.8T Pancake Pipe
Interior (the marks on the glovebox and navi screen are just my wife's makeup):
Engine bay (bone dry with no leaks, also this is the only place that the previous color shows. all jambs match the exterior color very well):
