2000 jetta TDi

[M4wdFab]

picked up this guy tonight, in the rain.  runs and kicks good.


ABS light popped pulling it on the trailer, weird.


in the light, only one fender has a really small portion starting to blister, other wise clean body, clean underside. 

front clip needs reattachment after failed dismount from wedge 


everything looks to work, a few latches and snaps broken in the center consol.  clean tan leather, heated seats, moon roof.

stock wheels, 1 year old tires in great shape.  cant wait to go through it, plate it, learn some stuff from mikemike, and run it another 100k

lmk what it need 

[etk300ex]

nice!  this the roof rack machine?

[M4wdFab]

ya. 

has some break in damage.  glove box / center consol / roof rack.

[mr.mindless]

Glove box, center console are common wear items too. may be tough to junkyard.

if the windows are power and are still good they're probably fine. 99-01 had regulator problems.

I grabbed my diag computer and cable and threw them in the eagle. we can turn EGR duty cycle all the way down if it hasn't been done yet, I'll show you where to check to see if the manifold needs cleaning. Can check timing, and can adjust IQ for smoothest operation.

There's also a free mod you can do for about 30hp with a resistor in the fuel pump harness, it's probably plenty of power to be satisfied with. I eventually did injectors in mine and it was a little cleaner power since it was shorter duration, but not much more power to be had than that without a turbo upgrade. Called the "evry mod". Needs a switch (and deserves latching relay setup, since it throws codes if you start the car with it on) and an adjustable pot.

cool, thanks mike

The abs light popped after i skipped and lugged it a little on the trailer.  he said he had never seen the abs light on before.  hoping it shuts off after a few road miles 

ill try to get some plates on it today, but it needs to get thrown on the lift and the front fixed before driving.  also wana check lug nuts as guy swapped them 5 min before i arrived.

leather needs a good washing and vac, they had kids 


no surprises under the seats or trunk.

Funny, my 3500 will do the same if I lug it a bit. ABS light is always on but it'll throw the brake light until the next key cycle. I've never figured out why.

brakes feel squishy to me, but i have never owned a car haha


the battery in this thing is like the size of my international batteries 

[etk300ex]

everytime I get in the grand cherokee I almost go through the first stop sign 

[M4wdFab]

5.9 plates transfered, got a sticker for it. 


i swear this year i should have just done the dealership liscense.  no way the coin i have given the DMV in the last 3 years would have paid for a dealer fees for 10 years

[rejeep]

have you seen the paperwork to get a dealer plate...

like the bible... New and old testament..

[M4wdFab]

a few of my co workers do it, cant be that bad.  one guy said he has gotten audited in once in 10 years that was somewhat of a hassel.

A lot of that is a battery jacket, but it's still a biggie. I ditched that when my batt went and got one damn near the size of the jacket thing

I recall good pedal and good brakes in mine. I have the tool needed to turn in the rear calipers when you do pads. They rotate & squish, not just squish. Something about how the ebrake works.

[dubt]

I hate those brakes, I whish i knew you had the tool. ... took me an extra hour to do Melissa mom ford brakes.
