1999 VW JETTA GL TDI 4 DOOR SEDAN VERY HARD TO FIND ONE OF THESE IN ANY DECENT CONDITION!! ENGINE RUNS FINE CLUTCH SHIFTS WELL, TRANSMISSION IS FINE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES QUITE WELL!! STEERING AND SUSPENSION ARE EXCELLENT. TIRES LOOK GOOD, I WOULD SAY %50 THE BRAKES ARE VERY GOOD. IT WILL NEED SOME SMALL THINGS LIKE A HUB CAP, 2 SMALL DIMPLES ON THE TRUNK LID, FRONT BUMPER MARKER LIGHT (DRIVER SIDE), BATTERY IS WEAK- SEEING THE WINTER IS COMING I WOULD HAVE IT REPLACED! POWER LOCKS WORK GREAT MANUAL WINDOWS- LIKE ALL THE GLs I HAVE SEEN BODY IS ABOVE AVERAGE FROM WHAT YOU SEE LATELY..... BLOWER MOTOR, CLIMATE CONTROLS GOOD. HEAT IS PIPING HOT. A/C SEEMS TO BLOW COLD. CAR RUNS DOWN THE ROAD REALLY WELL, BUT IT SHOWS SYMPTOMS OF A CLOGGED AIR INTAKE OR TURBO BOOST SOLENOID. CHECK ENGINE WAS SCANNED AND IT WAS A WASTEGATE BYPASS REGULATOR (N75) VALVE (P1550 CODE). ALSO HAD A GLOW PLUG MONITORING, GLOW PLUG FAULTY OR INCORRECT GLOW PLUGS INSTALLED (P0380 CODE) NOTE: CAR STARTS UP FINE ON A 35F MORNING WITH A GOOD BATTERY. IT DOES HAVE A LITTLE ROUGH IDLE WHEN "STONE" COLD FOR THE FIRST 30 SECONDS OR SO AS ANY TDI WOULD WITH A GLOW PLUG ISSUE. THE GLOW LIGHT SEEMS TO STAY LIT FOR AN APPROPRIATE TIME WHEN "STONE" COLD. MY BEST GUESS IS IT ALSO NEEDS GLOW PLUGS. IF YOU ARE GOING UP A BIG HILL ON THE HIGHWAY YOU WILL NOTICE IT. IT DOES GET ME 45 MPG EASY THOUGH. AT 50 MPH IT WILL GET 55 MPG BUT YOU WILL PROBABLY GET THE WRONG TYPE OF ATTENTION ON MOST HIGHWAYS..... THE CAR SAT FOR SOME TIME. THE STARTER WAS JUNK, SO THE CAR NOW HAS A BRAND NEW BOSCH STARTER! THE CAR WAS JUST FULLY DETAILED. LAST OWNER WAS AN OLDER LADY. NON SMOKING AND NO PETS ORIGINAL BOOKS AND PAPERWORK IN GLOVE BOX. CAR LEAKS NO FLUIDS, SEEMS LIKE A GOOD TDI AS A RUNNER. I DONT KNOW WHEN THE TIMING BELT WAS LAST CHANGED, SO IF IT WERE ME I WOULD CHANGE IT ANYWAYS. I CAN HAVE A VW SHOP DO THAT FOR YOU AT A VERY FAIR PRICE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. TERMS OF SALE....
