I bought a 2001 Jetta TDI back on June 29, 2001. VIN #225248. Manual
The car has 230,000 miles on it and has not ran in 6 years.
In 2016 I was living in WV and I met this girl in Texas. We drove the car to Texas, however on the way there, I blew a CV Joint. It should be known that I have done nothing other then timing belt (associated parts), air intake clean, and oil changes to this car. The car has never failed me!
I replaced both front axles and then I was like, "Might as well do the clutch . . . . heck might as well replace the front and rear sub-assembly (rust), alternator, brakes, oil pan, shocks, struts, springs, wheel bearings, brake calibers, rotors, pads, glow-plugs, clean the air intake....etc. the list goes on. I also decided to upgrade the Intercooler, put a new turbocharger on . . . . " In the end, I probably spent $5,000 in parts, something that does not bother me at all. (If you were wondering, the clutch was fine.)
I got married to this girl in 2017 and during my marriage, she turned into a different person. If I spent any time working on this car, it resulted in an argument because I wasn't spending time with her. The marriage ended in 2018. We did not live together until after we were married - something I would never do again.
I need to get this car back together. Does anyone have any suggestions? The diesel tank was full when I started this project. The car has had no oil in the engine for 4 years. I have never ran the car. There has been no antifreeze, oil, gear oil in the car during this time. It was kept in a garage the entire time.
I brought it back to WV in the back of a Penski 30' box truck.
Any recommendations will be helpful.
