I think I'm the 2nd owner. I bought it back in 2005 or 2006. I can't remember the mileage when I bought it but it probably has that in the vehicle history report.
I've had various mechanics work on this over the years, all were diesel experts:
I did most of the regular maintenace, regular oil changes at 10k intervals, fuel filters at 20k intervals, and brakes. I bought the filter change kits and oil from IDParts. I always bought the proper VW recommended oil spec 506.01. I had a new windshield installed in July 2010. I installed four new tires in December 2012 from Costco - Bridgestone Potenza RE960 AS PP Performance H/V I installed a metal plate a long time ago to protect the underside of the engine and oil pan. I did this after I drove up onto a curb and it tore the drain plug off. They sit really low. I was close to the dealer so I had them replace the oil pan. I JUST installed a new battery for the tune of $175! Mind you ...it is massive. Engine and Trans are completely stock...no mods to ECU. This has been my daily driver till now. Everything works as it should. AC blows cold, heat is hot, sunroof works perfectly, Monsoon stereo works though I think a front speaker may be bad. I have a SiriusXM radio hard wired to the sound system. I JUST bought a new XM radio and the power plug is different from the one hard wired so you have to use the plug adapter. It's easy enough to clip the ends of the old power and splice with the new end if you want it to look clean. This avoids having to use the FM transmitter or cassette adapter crap. It works great, I had that and a radar detector installed professionally. They both go with the car but you obviously have to get a subscription for the XM. I will also include a Motorola Bluetooth FM transmitter/Speaker for handsfree operation of your cell phone. The interior is perfect, no rips or tears. Though I have to say, after sitting in my new Passat TDI, the drivers seat in the Golf seems pretty saggy/soft. If I end up not selling it I'll definitely be replacing it. I have OEM Monster Mats installed and also have the cloth mats. Mileage is great as you must know if you are looking at this car...why else would you buy a car with 183k if it wasn't a tank that gets awesome mileage right :-) Again, since driving my new Passat, I can feel the front end in the Golf is a little "squirrely". I'm guessing it needs new sway bar bushings again. For the longest time, when you hit 20k RPM, it sometimes "coughs" or hesitates. Dan, referenced above, had my whole engine apart and can't find anything wrong. The CAM shaft is perfect, the turbo is working as it should, it is just a mystery. It doesn't do it all the time either. I drive the car hard, and it performs great to this day. By hard I mean, not slow :-) It DOES have the original clutch so I must be driving OK right! Please ask all questions up front. Feel free to call Dan as he knows I'm selling it and agreed to give the skinny on it to anyone interested. He has done most of the more recent work on it. If you want to test drive it contact me for an agreeable time. The sale will be AS-IS as I can't really guarantee a car with 183k on it. I prefer pickup but if you need it shipped feel free to make those arrangements. Thanks for looking...please bid tons of money...it's worth it :-) --Joe I AM AN HONEST SELLER WHO DOES NOT SELL JUNNK. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK. I AM A LONG TIME EBAYER WITH 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK. |

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
