- Silver 2003 Jetta TDI, Silver 2000 Jetta TDI (sold), '84 Vanagon with '02 ALH engine
A friend of mine called a little while ago telling me he had finally found a TDI ('01 Jetta 5-speed).
Well, as I questioned him about price ($4k), condition, miles, etc., he said the owner (original) said he had not done anything to the car but change oil and filters.............. I ask about the Timing Belt. He said the guy told him it had never been changed........... 148,000 miles.
So, the car is coming out of Michigan to be driven to Southeast Kentucky in about two weeks! Will it make the trip? If it does, I'll be installing the works!
A couple of years ago I did a TB job on an '03 with 119k miles on the OE belt (on regular dino diesel oil, 15w-40).......
So, this '01 has the most miles on the OE TB that I've heard of at 148k.
Any stories out there worth sharing?
