• 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! :)

Up for sale is a complete TD Tuning tune loader for use on 2000-2008 VWs. I no longer have need of it and unlocked it from my car before doing a full erase via Xconsole software interface. It is now ready for a new owner and will function like a brand new unit purchased from TD Tuning. Looks just like pic below and also comes with USB cable for connecting to your computer. Xconsole software download HERE. These typically go for about $200 +S&H new. Save a few bucks and get this one shipped to your door (US lower 48) for $125. Sold, thanks!

No maps come with this. This is just a tool for loading a map. Contact TD Tuning for an actual tune.

Since we are on this subject, I'll expand a little on how these work. These loaders are made by Alientech (called a Powergate II S, as in slave) and private labeled to the various tuners. Malone, TD Tuning and Kerma all use them. These being "S" models they are marketed via tuners and intended for end-users. They "VIN lock" to a single specific car once they are used. After that "lock" happens the loader cannot be used on any other car except the original. This is done to both protect the tuner's intellectual property (the tune) and to drive sales for Alientech as each car tuned with one must have it's own loader. Not only that, but it is my understanding that each tuner has specific encryption for the boxes they sell so that even though you may have an unlocked TD Tuning box, you can't load a Kerma tune with it.

I see these come up for sale from time to time from cars that were sold in their tuned state. Since the car was not returned to the "originale" tune before the sale, those tune loaders are worthless - just $200 paper weights as they are still "VIN locked".

This loader was used to reload the "originale" tune file to the car which UN "VIN locked" it. It was then erased with Xconsole so that even my car specific protocols are wiped clean. It is literally in the same software / VIN lock condition a brand new one would be from TD Tuning. I guarantee this loader will work on a VAG car that can be flashed via the DLC port (2000-2008).

Looks identical to an older bullydog tuner I had years ago on my powerstroke. I bet they simply put their stickers on it and sold it as their own!

I see you do performance tuning, are you not able to sell/load tunes for the buyer?

Skunkwerx Performance (me) is a Malone Tuning dealer. I have all the equipment to tune all TDIs 2000 to present including DSG tunes.

The loader I am selling here was my personal TD Tuning loader from before I became associated with Malone. Mike at TD Tuning did a great job for me, I don't have a cross word to say about the man or his tunes. However, I choose to run what I sell - Malone FTW. :D

This box needs to go to a TD Tuning customer.
