Raw_Beef posted:03 TDI Golf. Yes, I don't know if it was an actual recall or not but VW was replacing the clips with metal ones for free for a while. I had the same thing happen to both my front windows coming back from a ski trip. I was at a toll booth and hit the button and heard the motor activate but the window didn't move. I gave it a nudge and BAM! It went down. Hm. Actually it looks like it was a 7 year warranty extension. http://www.vwproblems.com/problems/window-falls-into-door.shtml

CommieGIR posted:Pedal to the Metal eh? There is truly no point; it's the most uninspiring engine I've ever driven. When I was living in France I had a friend with a MKIV Golf TDI 4motion (5-6 speed?) and another with a chipped Seat Léon turbo diesel. I've got a thread open on vwvortex soliciting ideas about my mileage...but that is non-diesel related chatter. Any further word of the VW Golf GTD coming here in 2014? I'm working on getting a new job and I would love to replace the Golf with a TDI.

I've been jonesing for a Golf TDI for a long time. Here is the type of stuff that comes up for sale around me. http://wheeling.craigslist.org/cto/4798105696.html http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/4793393268.html  2002 Vw Golf TDI 5 speed .190k miles .Runs drives stops .Guardrail pinstripe on the pass side. Just did timing belt, water pump and tensioners. Turbo isn't working. Still gets 40+ MPG . Has good Wv sticker. Text I don't mind something that needs a bit of wrenching but I'd like for it not to be a total pile. Do bargain diesel's exist or should I just give up.

CommieGIR posted:The turbo is fairly easy to do in the car, just a little cramped. I'd recommend removing the intake manifold to do it, will give you a lot more space. I've considered getting an MB but I had a Golf in the past and really really liked and used the practicality of the hatchback. My gripe I suppose is that I'm looking at a 10+ year old car and not only are they more expensive than their petrol counterparts, but then they are also usually in poorer repair (and they're all blue w/o a sunroof). I'd like to offer the guy with the silver vw $1200 bucks, which is what I would do if it were a petrol turbo car (ok probably $1000 with that big scrape). Alternatively, I could stop crabbing and pony up the cash for a cared for car or just stop lusting after a diesel - but my old bmw eats all of my money and I've got diesel fever. Thanks for your feedback.
