2001 Golf TDI GLS manual 5spd with sunroof and 16" alloys. I have owned this since new in 2001. Has the sunroof, heated mirrors, electric windows and locks. I got some used 16" alloys off of a jetta GLX and had tossed out the 15" wheels long ago.

only issues:
- wheels have a small amount of curb rash from previous owner (I got them at a great price - so I didn't care).
- small dent in front left fender, got dinged in a parking lot. Paint is intact, there are just several small dents. Only you will notice.
- normal crappy rubberized trim peeling a bit (I don't care)
- some fabric coming loose on arm rest area and above sun visors (common problem)
- there will be a constant CEL because of the diselgeek racepipe. I can remove the pipe, put the EGR valve back in, and clear the light if you wish
Things I fixed:
- relay 109 with new unit
- First generation EGR bypass - dieselgeek race pipe in the "rare and beautiful emerald green". Have the original EGR if you want me to reinstall it for you.
- replaced water pump at 150K with brass impeller unit (just because)
- 100K timing belt kit installed at 150K - won't need to do this again for 70K (I do this myself, and have done several others for other members in the past)
- fixed sunroof drain with nylon tubing
- replaced FUBA antenna since they weather (have a spare you get to have)
- I replaced the hazard flasher (just in case)
- upgraded window regulator kits in front (metal ones)
- replaced shift boot with leather unit
- installed later cup holder in the emergency brake area (2004 and up), I have both the in dash and the later model versions in front, and replaced the rear one with the later cup holder design
- battery in the last 2 years
- tires are michelin MX4, with about 10K on them (very new)
- replaced brake pads and rotors at 150K (they weren't bad, but I like fresh brakes)
- replaced brake fluid at that time
- replaced all vacuum hoses with new OEM lines (they were getting weathered)
- fixed broken armrest compartment release button
- replaced rear gas pistons on the hatch, it stays open now!
maintenance:
- followed the suggested maintenance.
- I do my own timing belts, so that's always done right
- synthetic oil used (if you care about that)
- use dieselkleen or stanadyne (depends on which I have on hand). You can have the extra.
- have some spare air and oil filters, wiper blades too.
- replaced manual transmission fluid with Redline synthetic (nicer in cold weather)
- always washed and waxed with Zaino (paint looks real sharp)
Not Stock:
- GTI tail lights
- clear side turn markers
- monster mats
- euro side mirrors (built in convex portion on the outside edge)
Everything works. I'm picky about that. It's a great car, I just have too many vehicles and it's time to reduce the clutter. It's a 180,000 car, so there is expected cosmetic stuff.
I love the fuel economy and the ride, but I need my truck a little more, and I'm tired of owning too much stuff.
I'll remove the ADV sticker, and the two NRA stickers from the rear window for you - just haven't gotten around to it yet.
