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*
