2001 VW Golf TDI 4 door We love this car so much! We just got a Passat wagon as we decided we finally need more space... We are the second owners, got car at 85,000 miles. Now at 235,000+... we consistently get 46-48 MPG (with a roof rack on!). Recently we took a road trip and got a whopping 52 MPG (still with rack on!). The Really Good: -Brand new timing belt and water pump done by VW of Orchard Park on August 23, 2013 -Intake manifold and ERG valve cleaned out by VW of Orchard Park on March 5, 2013 -Panzer Plate Heavy Duty Aluminum Skid Plate Kit installed from Dieselgeek.com -4 matched snow tires used for one season on newer steel rims -2 key fobs with a valet key -manual included -mp3 cable in glove box (ipod not included:) -Other things replaced: parking break cables, right front window regulator clips, hatch lock cylinder, fuel door button, front windshield washer nozzles, struts for hatch, armrest, rear window wiper motor, rear brakes and rotors last year The Bad: -Surface rust starting. Needs some attention. -Climate control: fan, heater, and AC DOES NOT WORK! As we were thinking of selling, we decided to fix the AC (the heater and fan had worked well always). Dealer stated we needed a new compressor. Purchased new behr compressor,and receiver/drier from autohausAZ. Local shop installed. Dealer confirmed installation was completely correct. NOW fan, heater, and AC do not work. Dealer troubleshooted for an hour, but we did not want to pay for further diagnosing. They feel it is a computer glitch or a loose connection of some sort. Probably a small fix for someone with the time to find it. Up until this time the heater had worked great and the fan is strong. -Glove box handle broke (still can open fine) -Rear window wiper spray does not work -Homemade rear compartment cover strings that lift it up with the door (works perfectly good) -Rear plastic interior around hatch is loose from my replacing the rear window motor. All stays in place just fine -Driver's door lock cylinder is loose, needs pinned -Airbag light on for several years. We are told it is a faulty sensor. Always passed NYS Inspection We will be happy to deliver within 100 miles of Salamanca, NY. Thanks for looking, this car is awesome!
