I bout this vehicle from the origional owner to fix up for my wife last July. It didnt run, but the car was in pretty good shape. After disecting the engine i determined the timing chain broke, there are 3 chains on this car, 1 for cam/crank, 1 for oil pump, and 1 for balancing shafts(put in at the factory to help smooth engine operation). So i ordered a new chain set with tentioners and chain guides, new balancing shafts, water pump, oil pump, cam/crank seals, rear main seal(all from VW) and performed a full on checkup on every aspect of the engine. Additional parts include new battery, plugs synthetic oil, transmission serviced with filter. After installing all the parts, i drove the car for about 130 miles, i then noticed the drivers wheel bearing was loose and the CV shaft was clicking. Replaced those. Also the engine was overboosting which after extensive diagnosis, turned out to be when i reinstalled the engine the turbos wastegate arm was bent, so i bent it back and it fixed the problem. My Wife then decided she had to get a new car, so for the past few months its been sitting with a few small issues to button up, but my transmission went out in my car, so im selling for a new transmission.
The Bad Stuff:not that bad really... small exhaust leak due to incomplete exhaust clamp kit, the passenger side tail light lens was cracked so i ordered new ones, however the factory ones had black within the light, so the color is slightly off. There are 2 small (1x2 inch) rust spot near the back bumper on the quarter. barely noticable but i feel i must disclose it, 1/2 hour work for experienced bodyman. also paint missing behind front wheels, and side of hood, rust is surface only, easily cleaned up and painted, but the car is more honest if there isnt a bunch of coverup spots, and last, the check engine light comes on when started cold... but when i hook my VAGCOM to it, it cannot find any codes within the computer. but if i clear the codes, the light goes off and doesnt come back on.
Other than that the rest of the car is rust free, interior in excellent shape, runs and drives very nicely, and is a pretty quick car.
