1998 VW MK3 Diesel TDI Jetta. Great bio diesel or grease car project, or run on regular diesel and enjoy almost 50 mpg. I currently drive another TDI and I purchased this car to build as a project for bio-diesel but have had no time to work on it, so need to get it out of the yard. Starts & runs in cold weather, I do not have any records of when the timing belt was last changed so I had planned to replace it. I have the new belt, rollers, tensioner, and a new water pump which will be included w/ the car. Front brakes have brand new pads & rotors, rear brakes were good when inspected so I did not replace. Glow plug harness was replaced which cured a difficult starting issue and check engine light for glow plug fault. Known issues: Electric sunroof does not operate, it is closed currently but unable to open it with power. Both power rear windows do not open, this is a common VW failure item. I have 2 new window regulators which will be included with the car, just haven't had time to install. Both front power windows seem to work fine. Muffler should be replaced, not currently leaking but the outer skin is peeling off. The rest of the exhaust system looks solid. Paint clearcoat is peeling on the roof, this is another common VW issue. No rust and black paint underneath is ok, just peeling clearcoat. The rest of the paint is what would be expected for a 1998. Any questions feel free to email and I'll answer the best I can. Thanks for looking.
