Welp,

 

 

Basically a car which suits my needs for town driving and long distance hauling (as well as scratching that insatiable itch for a OVLOV) has appeared, rendering the need for this thing nul. A shame as I was beginning to like it, but a succession of more luxury cars has made me a bit of a snob apparently. Plus heated seats....

 

So, here it is.

 

The good points-

 

MOT until November.

Low mileage for a TDI, a smidge under 119k.

90BHP so incredibly powerful (sic)

Automatic box works well

Fuel economy is almost at crazy levels

Very good heater

Most, if not all, the toys work, not that there is many

Interior is tidy, albeit a bit grubby

Cambelt done at 100k

 

The bad points-

 

Chugs like heck on idle. Fuel pump solenoid is the issue, new pump in boot of car ready for fitting

Some marks to body, not too bad

Driver side washer jet a bit lazy

Front tyres are a bit crud. Not deadly, just cruuuuuud.

Seats are okay, just not my thing. I can't get the position right.

Runs a bit cooler than expected

Radio not brilliant, but not too bad.

 

 

 

Okay, thats about all.

 

It is happy to drive with the chugging, but town driving can be a bit like torture if you get worried about your image.

Above 1000rpm and it clears up.

I am in Basingstoke.

 

£275 would take it, or I can attempt to roffle at £4.50 a go.

 

 

Delivery may be possible, but might not be.

I'm not sure the problem is the timing solenoid, that was a problem with later pumps and I don't think the VP37 in this even has a timing solenoid, my 1999 Passat doesn't.

My Caddy TDI used to chug at idle and it was the injection quantity adjustment. The replacement pump is probably unnecessary.

What a bargain and GLWTS.
