• The TDIClub classifieds section is a heavily trafficked section of the forum that encompasses want-to-buy (WTB) and for-sale (FS) threads for the entire world. Due to the demanding nature and fast pace of this section, it is imperative that you know and understand the rules. It is also important to remember that this is the only parts classifieds section.

    Cross-posting and posting classifieds in the regional sections (except the dedicated thread in Ontario) is not permitted.

    Multiple items should be sold in one thread. Make sure to provide a description for all items in your post along with pictures and prices. If you start multiple threads with individual items, they will be locked or combined at the discretion of the moderators.

    Here is a quick outline of the classifieds section rules. If you don't follow these rules, you subject yourself to thread deletion, thread combination, infractions, or posting privilege revocation.

    Thread titles:
    • Put FS or WTB in your thread title. This will let other users know if you are selling or buying.
    • Briefly describe what you are selling. Thread titles have limited space. Be as descriptive, yet succinct, as possible.
    • Put your location in the title.
    • If space allows, put your price in the title

    Title example (single item): "FS: 2004 Mk4/BEW cylinder head - Portland, OR - $500"
    Title example (multiple items): "FS: MK6 fog lights, front bumper, headlights, grill - Detroit, MI"
    Title example (car part-out): "FS: Mk3 Jetta parting out engine & interior - Dallas, TX"

    Thread text descriptions and pictures:
    • All for-sale threads must include pictures of the items that you are selling. One picture is sufficient, but multiple pictures with different angles will help buyers. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you don't know how to post pictures on TDIClub, see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=286691
    • All for-sale threads must include a description. We don't charge per-word, so be as descriptive as possible. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for buyers.
    • All for-sale threads must include a price. Auctions and bidding are not allowed. If you want to auction something off, use eBay.
    No picture, no price, NO SALE!

    Thread maintenance/updates/bumps:
    • When you sell something, update your thread with "SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title.
    • If you have multiple items for sale, update your thread as each item has been sold. When everything has been sold, updated the thread with "ALL ITEMS SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title when all items have been sold.
    • If you bump your thread, please delete old bumps by clicking on EDIT and then deleting the old bump. This will reduce clutter in your thread and make it easier to read. It also makes you look less desperate.
    • If you drop your price, please update your first post in addition to posting the new price. If you would like the thread title changed, click on the report post icon and let a moderator know what you would like the title changed to.

    Moderator intervention and infraction points:
    Moderators will be monitoring the classifieds section. If a moderator determines that you have not been following the rules listed above, corrections will be made and infraction points will be assessed to your account.

    What is an infraction point? Simple - it's a system of keeping track of user behavior. A moderator can assign a point value based on the severity of the infraction, as well as an expiration date on the points assessed. If you accumulate a certain number of points, the system will auto-ban you for a predefined amount of time. The more points you accumulate, the longer your ban period will be.

    One example of points is as follows: multiple threads will be combined into a single thread, with the number of infraction points assessed corresponding to the number of threads merged. If we merge four threads into one, then you will be assessed four points that expire in 30 days. When you reach five points, the system will auto-ban you for one day.*

    *This is an example based on the current infraction system structure. We reserve the right to modify the infraction system at any time without notice or updates to this announcement.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck with your sales and searches! :)

I can't figure out how to add pictures to this post so I will either add them afterwards or I can send pictures as requested.

I bought a 2003 Jetta TDI about a year ago and have been trying to get it back into shape ever since then but I don't have the time to do the work anymore so I have decided to sell what I can.

I bought the following from IDparts to put on the car:

Suspension Installation Kit with Mount
OE Replacement Strut and Shock Set
Complete Spring Set
Rear Lower Spring Seat
Front Spring Top Perch
Rear Spring Top Buffer
Front Wheel Bearing Kit
Front Wheel Hub
Rear Wheel Hub and Bearing Kit
Ball Joint - Left and Right
Tie Rod Complete - Left and Right
Rear Axle Bushings.

The total value is about $1,100 but I am willing to sell everything together for $850. Additionally, I have already assembly the front struts.

Since they are already taken off the car, I will throw in the following for an extra $200 (bring the total to $1,050):

Lower Control Arms (replaced in December 2019)
Steering Knuckles (probably factory)

I have a rear axle that was pulled from a junkyard to replace the one on this car (it's bent). I will sell the axle for $100 (Total is $1,150).

I have the following special tools for the suspension install:
Rear Axle Bushing Installation Tool
MetalNerd Strut Spreader Tool
Metalnerd 21+22mm Strut Wrench

Total value of the tools is about $110 but I will sell them for $90, and for an additional $10 I will include the following:
Metalnerd Injection Pump Socket

I resealed the fuel injection pump around March of this year and have had no issues with it since, if you need a new pump I am willing to sell this one for $500. I don't believe the pump has ever been replaced and the car has about 318,000 miles on it, about 4,000 since the pump was resealed.

The clutch has been making some noise so I bought the items below to do a fluid swap:
OEM G 070 Manual Transmission Fluid x2
DSG 02J Service Funnel Tool (to perform the transmission fluid swap)
I paid $45 but will sell for $30.

Finally, even though I have given up on the car, I am willing to sell everything above plus the car for $2,000. There are some issues with the car that will need to be addressed sooner rather than later but if you are really interested and in the San Diego area, I'd be more than willing to try to keep her on the streets a little longer. I quit mid-project due to time constraints so the car is currently up on jacks in my garage so if you want to buy it you would have to put it back together but I have no problem letting you work in my garage to finish it. I'd imagine with the right tools and experience (two things I don't have) it shouldn't take too long to get it running again. I have everything removed from the car and (most) of the new parts ready to go, I just couldn't find somewhere to press out the old/new bushings from the rear axle, same thing with the front wheel bearings/hubs.

TL/DR
$850 for MK4 Jetta Suspension Parts+Hardware, Hubs, Wheel Bearings (all new parts)
$1,150 for everything above plus rear axle, control arms, and steering knuckles
$90 for special tools to work on suspension ($100 to include injection pump socket)
$30 for 2 containers of manual transmission fluid plus special funnel
$500 for fuel injection pump
$2,000 for everything (car included) *Read above if interested*
